Just beautiful...

What a wonderfully calming and beautiful piece, and such a fitting tribute to the man who wrote and performed it.

RIP, Steiner.

It was a sad morning for me hearing the news that Steiner had passed on.
His music played through the shop all day. You will be missed, but we will meet again. RIP

I logged on to look for something else, and for some reason went to the "Gone Home" page... I had not heard that Steinar had died... we never met, but corresponded for the past 8 years or so... sad to hear... I'll miss his soul in my life...
