A Violin Tribute to Key Gear

Key Gear, you have been a long friend of mine on this forum. It came as no surprise to me when you became a moderator, and again when you became a tech admin. Regardless of the fact that I was completely convinced you were overwhelmed, (and I'm pretty damn sure you were) you still did everything happily, and poured your heart and soul into what you did. (common phrase lately, but a worthy one.)

 

 

Your post moved me and had a deep impact on me as a human being. When reading your post, a song continued to play through my head. This song is called "Serenade" and was written by Franz Schubert. 

 

The very next day after you made that post Key Gear, my orchestra class spent a large amount of time playing it and practicing it. The entire time, I was thinking about you and the emotional post you made. It fit well. Too well.

 

Key Gear, if you're reading this (which you better be!) I found that song matched the tone of your post well. Although it's sad to see you resign, it does not mean anything bad. In fact it may even be a positive change.

 

Thus, it is for this reason that I chose to play Franz Shubert's Serenade on my violin, and record myself playing it as a tribute to Key Gear.

Note: Uncut other than the echo. No tuning or improvement was made after this to preserve the emotional motivation behind this.

 

You have my undying respect as both a fellow staff member and especially as a close friend.

Wow! That's a very nice piece. It may be my love for string instruments talking here, but I think this is just lovely. The mood of the song is very nice too, and the recording was just the same.

 

I'm sure this means a lot to Key Gear. He's so lucky t have such a beautiful song dedicated to him, and covered by a friend at that! Very sweet of you. It turned out great!

Silver, I must say it takes a lot for musical piece to bring a tear to my eye but you accomplished that here. I'm running low on fuel for the day and about to call it an evening, but I must say that you have my undying respect as a friend and staff member as well. Thank you for this. img-1492771-1-smile.png
