SOUNDCLICK is an entertaining Site where people compete in Charts against people they don't know, probably don't want to know and never ever listen to . . . it's all a habitual "click on sound" - but of course far more intricate in charting formulae[lat.] nowadays. I'm here to have a Music Website. I have a domain off Soundclick. I also support people I have known for nearly 20 years and their Chart positions and communicate off Soundclick - and yes, I do actually listen!

Story behind the song
Here is a piece that was once in the repertoire of every pianist in the 1950s/60s/70s - played to various degrees of expertise. My wife Susan page turned the sheet music for me as I recorded this piece - as there are some quite nonsensically printed page turn moments. It's from a UK 1947 quite drab Movie called "While I Live". The actual musical performance on the movie is also quite poor too, as is most of the acting. But the composer Charles Williams created something here that subsequently took on a life of it's own far greater than the Movie.

Some beautiful expressive playing Tony. I confess this one must have got away from me as I don't know the original...sounds stunning though.
