Program Notes

By almost every measure, our time spent on this planet is very short. Still, the people that change our lives for the better live on in us, and in the lives of those we meet. Parents, teachers, friends, people we don't even know – their support, their kindness, and their love will always be with us. Not far from here is a very simple expression of this very amazing power. They are never far away from us, or from those we care about. Not far from here was written for Jesse Milam. It was commissioned by his friends.
