Ellen Goddard –
Whispers of the Wind Elf is wonderfully written piece and brings me such joy to play. It is one of my “go-to” pieces when I need to play something to bring me peace. Several of Susan’s compositions are emotional staples in my regularly played songs . . . when all I can do is sit down at the piano and play.🩵
