After recent concerts, attendees commented as follows:
“Your playing is truly inspirational, and I loved the format with the poetry readings intermingled with the commentary, the humor, and the phenomenal truly soul-stirring playing.”
from the Director of Music, Joy Lutheran Church in Ocala, FL
I had an opportunity (and the delight) to be present for a Thomas Keesecker "informal piano concert" last night in Vero Beach, FL. Across 90-minutes, spirits were palpably salved and brightened by the intertwining mix of Tom's music played, humor offered, poetry recited (Mary Oliver, Wendell Berry, Emily Dickinson, and one other poet-I missed their name), stories shared, all in a wondrous welcoming space. AND, we got to sing his jazz chorded arrangement of "I Want Jesus to Walk with Me." Today, still coming out of last week's cold weather blast, in a set of wild news weeks, I can move forward, centered afresh. I am intent to care, ready to practice calm agency for others, for we shall overcome someday …
