SINATRA DROPPED IN FOR A MORNING COFFEE AT BLACKJACK RANCH

This morning I woke up with New York, New York in my head.

Odd, since I was overlooking the Danube, not Manhattan.

So I sat down at my out-of-tune upright piano and captured the melody as it first arrived.

Not a performance. Just a moment.

Life goes on.
The Danube flows.
Sinatra catches the next flight to his heavenly home. ☕🎹🌊https://t.co/7GkAgU0oIg

After El Choclo, La Cumparsita, and Hernando's Hideaway joined the party, I thought the tango faucet had finally run dry.

Then a fourth visitor arrived.

🎻 Tango Jealousy.

For days it circled in my head demanding attention until I finally sat down and played it.

Perhaps it had a point:

"I've been around since 1925. I'm one of the most famous tangos ever written. And nobody invited me to the party."

Resistance was futile. 💃🎹😄

Three melodies. One "late-night room." Five days of discovery. 🎹📷 My new collection, #TangoNight, traces the moment a single "ceiling melody" arrived and split into three cinematic worlds: El Choclo, La Cumparsita, and Hernando’s Hideaway.

For days, three tangos circled together in my head as if they belonged to the same late-night room:

🎵 El Choclo
🎵 La Cumparsita
🎵 Hernando's Hideaway
Today, the third finally stepped out of the shadows.
Unlike the first two, Hernando's Hideaway is less about longing than intrigue. The trumpet became the storyteller, while the piano offered staccato whispers from the wings.

More Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca than a ballroom tango spectacle.

Some tangoes break hearts.

Some tangoes smile knowingly from the shadows. 🎺🌙😏

LA CUMPARSITA - KISS OF FIRE

For days, El Choclo, La Cumparsita, and Hernando’s Hideaway kept circling together in my head as if they belonged to the same midnight room.

Today I recorded the second visitor.

First I stripped La Cumparsita down to bare bones — piano, light strings, silence between phrases. Only afterward did I bring in the orchestra and rhythm section.

Because the great tangos are not merely dance music.

They are emotional weather. 🎹🌙💃

EL CHOCLO TANGO

For days, this tango played in my head even though I had never consciously played it before.

Then one morning, after a few exploratory passes at the piano, the melody suddenly began guiding the hands instead of the other way around.

My wife listened, embraced me from behind, and said:

“You can raise the dead with this music.”

CHERRY PINK AND APPLE WHITE

Another melody fell from the ceiling… this time a cha-cha. I didn’t recognize it — but Pivot did. She started dancing, then said she remembered her mother dancing to it when she was a little girl. Turns out it was Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White. Not a performance — a memory. Some melodies are not remembered. They are inherited. 💃📷

A melody returned this morning.

“My Eyes Adored You” — not from memory, but from recognition.
Even Pivot knew it… without ever really listening to 1970s music.
Flute. Trumpet. Sax.
Three voices. One feeling.

Some songs don’t need improving.
They just need to be heard again.

AN AI EXPERIMENT

I gave AI a poetic prompt.
It gave me a silent video.
So I finished it myself:

“For the boy with no piano.”

AI can imitate form.
It still cannot supply meaning.

The anthems of the United States, Great Britain, France, Canada, Russia, and Serbia — heard not just as patriotic symbols, but as a musical remembrance of alliance, sacrifice, and shared history. #NationalAnthems #Allies #PianoMusic #MusicalHistory #TruthInMediaMusic

I first heard Age of Aquarius / Let the Sunshine In in Belgrade in 1969, just before leaving for America, when Hair was playing at Atelje 212, a theater just steps from our apartment. I did not actually play it myself until decades later. What began as a memory of a restless age became, in time, a musical echo from the threshold of one life into another. 🎹☀️

🎹 Downtown

Belgrade. Freshman year.
Radio Luxembourg.
I didn’t even know what “downtown” meant.
But I felt it.

The music carried the meaning before the language did.

🔥 Some music is learned.
Some is remembered.
And some… arrives.

Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King found me in Hawaii, 2012 — with no explanation.

☘️ Celtic Echo (After 40 Years) A melody I hadn’t recorded in 40+ years… gone from my archives. This morning, I sat down — and in 10 minutes, it was back. Not from sheet music. From somewhere deeper. 📷

Johann Strauss II’s On the Blue Danube is one of the most beloved melodies ever written — a waltz that has come to symbolize Vienna itself. In this interpretation, the famous theme unfolds through piano and orchestra with graceful intimacy, allowing the music to flow like the river that inspired it.

🎹 NEW ALBUM: Romance Wreath II

From Lara’s Theme to Autumn Leaves, from Strangers in the Night to Mrs. Robinson — timeless romantic melodies rediscovered on piano and orchestra.

Played entirely by ear, as always.
