On this 10-year anniversary of one of the most horrific events in modern memory, I thought I’d offer, for anyone who might care to hear, a song I wrote about it.
I happened to be living in NY at the time and so got a strong taste of the whole thing, the smell of destruction and of smoke, the grey dusty war-zone feel of the streets near ground zero after the tragedy, the general feeling of soberness in the city, and yet the great strength and sense of community that occurred.
This song was written on a piano at NYU in a building that had overlooked the twin towers, and is a reflection of my own feelings.

Just saying hi and playing you something I did recently–an arrangement of Amazing Grace on guitar. It was for a church music night kind of thing. Singing with me is Aubrey Nielsen and Kimberly Barlow is on violin. Enjoy. –Clayton This is a video podcast too–video is below. |
