about

This is one of those rare compositions that came to me all at once, all in one piece, as if I was hearing it on the radio, only inside my head. It came to me at a time when I was really overwhelmed right after my son Andy was born. I was feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by all the changes in my life right then, and one day I drove up to the foothills near our house to kind of get some space, and all of a sudden this song came to me. Interestingly, it’s a very upbeat and positive feeling song, in deep contrast to what I was feeling in that moment. I drove straight home before I forgot it and got it out at the piano.

I called it “The Gift”, at first, because it seemed like the way this piece came to me was truly like receiving a gift, but as the years have gone by and my son has become an adult, I realized that this piece was actually about my son, Andy, and that’s why this piece is really called “The Gift.”
