Amazing Grace - A Chance Encounter

I've played "Amazing Grace" for years. It's my 'go-to' song. Whatever my circumstance, my hopes, challenges, whatever time of day or place--the melody and lyrics conjure the sense of eternity and redemption, born of the transfigured conscience of John Newton, a former slave ship captain in England in the late 1700's. One afternoon, more than two hundred years after Newton composed this hymn, here on this side of the planet, DownUnder, I met 'by chance' a man and his wife who had an uncanny connection to this music. As we spoke, they shed light on the significance of the song I've loved for years. As I share this story, I recall the striking insight that, "there are no coincidences," offered by the great Miles Davis, a legend whose presence, likewise, came into my life in an uncanny way--through the fabulous Garth Webber, a guitarist who played and toured with Miles, and with whom I've had the joy of collaborating. The video concludes with my performance of "Amazing Grace," With heartfelt gratitude and love to all, Jessica My efforts to bring hope, healing and beauty to this world are made possible through donations. If you'd like to help support my work and life, thank you. 🙏🌿 https://www.pianobeautiful.com/donatecontact.html
