Music Composed By Nancy Stafford

To really understand each song you have to know this artist, I had the privilege of having her as my

roommate in college.

She has always loved horses and had several of her own. She was the type that love to tease, but

was totally different when she rode her horses, running them thru the fields there was a freedom, a

freedom that she expresses thur her music.

I wished I could of shared her music it would come straight from the heart. It totally showing her

emotions. I learned one of her pieces, Battle of the ships by memory, it took several months to

learn. We sat down at the opera grand at the college, and she made me sound so good.

I wished I had recorded it then, as I  do not remember it now. There were times in the Music

Building where some of the best. I could hear her and ran into the room and say play that again,

and she could not play it again. Her music is felt thur her mind.

After years of playing she now has her music down so other can enjoy what a gift God has given

her!

Dear Nancy,

Thank you so much for making a rare Sunday appearance here at Oakmont Gardens and for giving

the residents an enjoyable afternoon of music and music appreciation.

I have already had many come to me and express how much they enjoyed not only your

compositions

 Your explanations and demonstrations concerning what is to them a new and unique instrument.

They look forward to your next appearance and so do I.

When my sister received Nancy Ode to Topaz she could not wait to

play it for me. She set it to Blue Denim. (changed to Forever)

So we were there in the parking lot at our job. We both sat in the car and cried.

I was never so moved to such emotions. I have played the music since a lot of times

and my neighbors were inquiring as to whom was playing.

Nancy's music moved me emotionally and spiritually

I would be proud as I am already to add her music to my collection of Liz Story, George Wiston, Tom

Grant and others

I worked with Gwen at Guide dogs for the blind. Before she move to Oregon. I still miss her.

back in 1993 she wrote me this about my music.

When I listen to Nancy's music so many wonderful things happen to me

I must say Blue Denim (Forever) is my up most favorite!!

I carry my heart though out the entire piece.

I take myself on a journey with Nancy's music, away from

daily situations that can plague our minds, and lightness of being content, joyous tears and literally

clintching myself wanting the pieces never to end!!

I listen openly of such a talent and very proud to have her music in my collection

Without a doubt I will follow her and waiting with anticipation for more of her music.
