Clair de Lune - DeBussy

I was browsing through Youtube when this came up.

This piece of music is very special to me. I have a cousin, an extremely talented musician and tenor. We were a musical family, singing arias, hymns, playing classical to ragtime. Everyone played an instrument or sang, including me. My mother and aunt sang; my grandmother played the piano, my cousins sang and Ken did both. He mastered several instruments, and the first was the piano. He had such sensitive hands. Ken had a clear, operatic tenor voice and it could make you weep. And when he sang, it was like heaven opened a special door. I can still hear him singing.

So wherever you are tonight, dear Ken, this one's for you, because this was one of our favorites, and you played it many times for me.
