Tribute To David by Mike Garson

published on 2016-01-11T19:25:33Z

The best way to express my sorrow is through music. This song, “A Tribute to David,” is very important to me. I recorded it in 2011 for my Bowie Variations album and haven’t performed it since. While the whole album was variations on David’s music, this one meant the most to me because I wrote it for him. It’s how I felt about David in musical terms. Though there’s no doubt I have more music for David coming, this is what I have to offer this morning. Please feel free to share this with others and respond with your memories, thoughts and feelings.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Uplifting, poignant and beautiful. The Starman always surrounded himself with musical angels, and your immense virtuosity and creativity here are testament to that. Me, I'm off to practice my scales some more. Heartfelt love and respect, Mr Garson <3

So piognant and moving. Always loved your work. As unique and distinctive as David himself. You 'blew our minds' when we first heard you on Aladdin Saneand it's no surprise that David kept you by his side throughout. Brilliant.

To me, as a long time constant listener, you were the one musician among all of Bowie's many accompanists who had the best sense of the depth, expressiveness, seriousness and flamboyance of his music. That was a beautiful offering, thank you.
