When I learned of the passing of my cousin this week, this song became a prayer and requiem. I had already thought of the title, “A Man Walks Into a Clearing” and it seemed right for one who had lived such a life as my cousin, Clayton. I recorded an iPhone video of myself playing it for my Aunt.
Sending you and your family greetings and condolences for the death of your cousin, Jack. What a beautiful piece of music to honor him and how great to hear you play it.
It’s a beautiful tribute Jack. “A Man Walks Into a Clearing” immediately invoked a natural and comforting image in my mind. I miss and love you.
