Piano performance of "Billiam" by Jay Tennant -- Happy 50th Anniversary special
Channel: Jay Tennant
Date: 2021-04-18

This is the piano performance of the original song "Billiam" that I did for the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of the Gordon's on April 17, 2021.

"Billiam" comes from:
"William" + "Bill" = "Billiam"

which is in reference to my dear friend Bill Gordon, to which this song is both inspired by and dedicated to.

Originally composed in 2013, the song captures Bill's jovial personality in form, melody, and antics.

This performance shows the piano keyboard in play, while running a facial expression performance in the vein of a "Laurel and Hardy" comedy skit. There's an introduction describing things to listen for in the music, and expressing sentiments to my dear friends Bill and Anita.

Happy 50th Anniversary Bill and Anita!
