Here is a short camera-phone video of me playing Amazing Grace for my dying Grandfather with an acoustic guitar and E-Bow.

Pavaka, well done! I am deeply moved. This is so poignant and evocative, a true example of music reaching levels that words and images cannot. In my Scottish Gran’s last months with us she increasingly loved so much to hear live music played, and she would be calm and serene; more than anything she liked me to play ‘Lord of the Dance’ for her. I am sure your beautiful playing was a great comfort to your Grandfather. Moments like this truly bring all our values into perspective.
Thanks for the comment Pavitrata. My Grandfather passed last Tuesday. My Aunt told me that he looked really rough all night, then around midnight, he opened his eyes wide, looked up and smiled broadly, then went to sleep for the last time.
