In July 2020, my grandmother was in quarantine with Covid. She had dementia and needed supervision, so I took care of her. My dad told me there was a piece of music her mother, my great grandmother, used to play, called "Fascination." I found this video and played it for my granny. She said her mom used to play it faster, but found the playing beautiful, and she started to tell me stories about her mom. Thank you for giving me this moment with my grandmother in the midst of such a hard time.

[@evangelinasalcedo-ella2797]

I like your interpretation of this piece, Fascination, really love it! This piece reminds me of my mom and dad who both had passed away (in May 2013 and May 2017, respectively) due to sickness. They love this piece so much and I could still remember when they danced waltz at home, with the accompaniment of my daughter's interpretation in piano, both hummed this piece as they were enjoying their dance. This scene I could see in my mind so vividly that I couldn't help but miss them.

[@glenndelbarrio5607]

Hola José, Gracias por esta maravillosa versión de un clásico musical. Jane Morgan grabó una hermosa versión vocal en 1957. Quizás el amor realmente comience con fascinación. Mis mejores deseos de los EE.UU. - Jerry. Hello Jose, Thank you for this wonderful version of a musical classic. Perhaps love really does begin with fascination. Best wishes from the USA - Jerry.

[@TAUCE67]

Thank you so much Jerry! All the best.

[@janservus7863]

Lastly I have found it after not proper translation from my maternal language - so not enchantement, but fascination. Computer sometimes in finding proper things is quite blind and stupid - like every machine. Very nice performance. If I good remember these composition was also present in the film Vacations in Rome with Audrey Hepbur and Gregory Peck.
