Today I had lunch with Melinda McKenzie, who provided the wonderful oboe music in my video Yucatan Travel Movie. It was great to get caught up with her. She’s a great story-teller. I laughed and laughed.
“You can’t save people from themselves.”

Melinda is a marvelous musician and music teacher who provided oboe playing for one of “Prayer, Duet, and Dance,” one of the musical numbers used as background music in the Yucatan Travel Movie.
A great inspirational quote from my friend Melinda McKenzie, who beautifully plays the oboe in “Prayer, Duet, and Dance,” a composition for piano or organ and oboe by Deborah L. Carr. I used part of this delightful and magnificent piece as background music in my movie Yucatan Travel: Cancun to Chichen Itza. The “dance” part of the composition is a tango – fantastic for giving a Spanish flair to a movie set in Mexico.
Yesterday, I added some of the newly recorded music composed by Deborah L. Carr, played by Deborah on piano and organ and Melinda McKenzie on oboe, to the Yucatan Travel Movie. This newly recorded music, which is superior to the original version, provides a delightful enhancement to the mood of the movie.
Yesterday I had the honor and privilege of being surrounded by the beautiful, soaring tones of original music for organ and oboe composed by Deborah L. Carr and played by Deborah on the organ and Melinda McKenzie on the Oboe. Magnificent!
Selections from this piece will be used to create mood with background music in the Yucatan Travel Movie.
I had previously recorded this piece played by them on piano and oboe. However, the depth and power of the organ moved me to tears. I learned that the organ is the most powerful musical instrument, even more powerful than the power of a rock band. After my experience yesterday, I believe it!
