Composed by Wayne H. Christensen III (Lyrics by Geraldine P. Christensen). Blues,Christian,Jazz,Spiritual. Score and parts. 8 pages. Wayne Howard Christensen III #2033059. Published by Wayne Howard Christensen III (A0.987118).My mom wrote this poem in 2007 when she was going through chemotherapy to treat her breast cancer. She was reminiscing about a day when her grandsons Ian (7) and Zachary (4) had accompanied her with bongo drums, maracas and tambourines as she played her Yamaha Clavinova to a latin beat. She said it was so much fun and they had such a good time! From her poem I have created a song that tries to capture the essence of their experience. I incorporated little variations of "When the Saints go Marching in" to portray their "jam session" while also alluding to my mom as a Saint who will always be with us in spirit no matter what. When she marches into Heaven I am sure she will be asking Jesus what he wants for dinner. :) For every purchase of this song I will donate $1 to Breast Cancer Charities of America.
