OK, who can tell me what’s been floating in the air of Pagosa Springs lately?

If you said the exquisite sound of Rada Neal’s piano (and not something totally snarky), you win an exclusive invitation to be inspired and transported far beyond any run-of-the-mill, symphony-of-the-week piano solo collections.

“Timeless Third” is 45 minutes of pure relaxation and original inspiration I would call hypnotizing. Rada’s music will flow into creases of your brain you probably didn’t know you had and fire off some completely legal chemicals you will definitely enjoy.

Rada has a sensitive touch and a surprisingly creative intuition. The music seems to come effortlessly and it’s hard for me to imagine that these songs haven’t been being played and refined and interpreted for centuries in order to reach this level of  sophistication and pure musician-to-listener communication.

And just wait until track four - “Haunting Memories.” Wow. This composition is a trance-inducing trip and my favorite on the CD. I don’t know what memories haunted Rada as she wrote this piece, but I hope they are as beautiful and expansive as the song itself.

I always appreciate the chance to support independent artists and when they are Coloradans, it makes it even better. I highly recommend you give Rada a listen and do your part to keep Pagosa Springs’ atmosphere buzzing.

You can buy “Timeless Third” at Rada’s Web site www.pianopassions.com. Nine bucks for the CD and its songbook - why pass this up? Rada’s other CDs are available there, too, and you can sample before you buy.
