On July 26, 1988, my beloved Bent and I got married. This would have been our 31st wedding anniversary (a lovely prime number), making it an especially sweet time to honor his memory and celebrate our love, with two originals that I finished composing for his birthday, just a few years before he went “six pixels under”. . . I miss him dearly.
Hope you’ll enjoy hearing my new recordings (below) of “Happy Birthday, Darling” and “The Party” as much as Bent enjoyed hearing me perform them!
