Forgive me.

Almost a decade has passed in silence.

Because I did not want to shame your melody with my shaking hands.

But soon my brain will send tiny electronic notes to my fingers.

And they will bend to my will as before.

Let the neighbors bang on the walls.

For I will play 'fortissimo' all night long.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Frank
