Breathe (Instrumental- Piano with String Orchestra)

In 2019, a former bandmate of mine from 40 years prior asked me to record a piano track for a song he'd written.
I was happy to do so; in fact, as I was recording what I thought would be a solo piano track only, I began hearing a string accompaniment in my head.
I asked him if he'd mind if I went ahead and added the strings (he could always decide not to use them, naturally), and once given the go-ahead, I proceeded to record (after a small revision he requested) nearly 60 tracks, mostly violin, viola and cello, along with the piano and a couple of touches of percussion.
The strings were hand-played, hand-bowed, not played on a keyboard. An experienced listener or string player will know this. If it sounds like strings played on a keyboard to you, that's OK, too. Whatever works. It's not really about that, but I did work my ass off to make this recording.
Then Covid hit, and the project for which this music was recorded was scrapped. This hurt everyone involved including me, because I was thinking "Hey, maybe someone will catch this and decide to use me for a soundtrack on something."
Well, I recently asked the composer, Joe Maffei, if he'd mind if I posted the tracks and he graciously gave his blessing to "Post whatever you want."
This song, "Breathe." deals with loss, and the idea came to me to put together something along the lines of what the entertainment industry does at the end of every year - "Those We Lost" - and thus, this video came to pass. As we all shall!
WARNING to VIEWER: If you've known me well, or for many years, the chances are good that a loved one of yours will show up here, and it might be a little jarring. For that I apologize.
I loved them, too. This was a far more difficult project to assemble than I thought it would be when I began.
But that's also what happened when I told Joe I'd record a piano track.
And when I glibly told Fred "Sure, I'll come down and play some bass!"
Not everyone that I cared about who's passed away is represented here, only the ones of whom I had some kind of motion picture or video footage.
Kathy's Uncle Jimmy and my aunts Mitzie and Irene are among those of whom I had none to use.
Anyway, the video opens with footage of my paternal grandmother taken by my uncle Archie around 1960, and progresses from uncles and aunts to friends, colleagues and students, a few of us who are still here.
May this 3-minute video, then, eventually be a sort of tribute to all of us.
In the meantime, it's for the ones who've already left.
