missing you

I drove Vicki out to Agusta yesterday after work because she had a dentist appontment and Kevin was not able to take her. I sat in the car listening to music while she was inside and I listened to David Oistrakh and Vladmir Yampolsky playing various violin and piano pieces (the album was 'The Devil's Trill') and I thought of you. One piece was Tchaikovsky's Valse-scherzo, Op 34. I know that you have played it in the past and it reminded me of you, except that I think you played it better.

I wish that I had spent more time just listening to you play like I did when I was little. My childhood memories are filled with the music you played. I realized that my taste in music came almost 100% from you. I wish i had the ability to play like you did, to match this passion for music that you gave to me.

Thank you, and I miss you so very much.
