People Close to My Heart

Getting By Without Gram” — Written for My Grandmother, Muriel Hedemark

Getting By Without Gram” is a tender reflection on love, loss, and the enduring presence of my Grandmother’s spirit. I learned to play music on her 1890 Steinway when I was three years old, and those early moments shaped my heart and love for music.

She was very close to me — an incredible musician, a gifted organist and pianist, a composer, and a beautiful singer. Through simple truth and deep emotion, the song reminds us that those we love never truly leave us.
