His music is not only great sounding, but a fun fit fit for the fingers - physically enjoyable to play.

The middle section (starting at about 1:50) particularly is delightful…

I've never forgotten it. I find it meditative and hypnotic. I've been looking for it for years online and finally found it. The last few words spoken I particularly find affecting. Hope you like it.…
