The Moments In Between

The Moments in Between

The most recent installment for Scheff’s Latest is a tune composed for Jewels some 20 years ago entitled “The Moments in Between.”  So while this composition is quite old — this is the first time it has been published.  I’ve toyed around with lyrics for the verses, but haven’t settled on anything yet.  I’m hoping my upcoming collaboration with world-class cellist, Mahsa, will give me some renewed inspiration.  Look for the-two-of-us in upcoming Scheff’s Latest installments.
