PROGRAM NOTE Davis Robinson: Gloom This is to everyone who is at a point in their life where they are hurting really badly on the inside and feel like they aren’t good enough for anything they do. I was there when I wrote this piece. And it saved my life quite literally. I have never played this for a live audience before. But I hope it reaches some of you like it did me, and may you all find your light on your path to keep going, even if it feels like the world has completely closed in on you. I will be right there with you.
