This new banjo composition sounds to me like a music box, a melody from a different time, and I immediately
thought of this superb photo of my sister Marielle, when she was 5. I was so lucky to have her as a big sister when I was growing up. It’s ironic that the piece also has the sound of clockwork and of time passing us by relentlessly, our chilhood being so brief. And since this piece is about childhood, here are some photos of the happy children in my life, my grand-nephews and grand-nieces.
