An orginal ballad, written for solo vox, backing vox, violin, acoustic guitar, celeste, vibraphone, organ, bass guitar & drum set.

The inspiration for this first song, was prompted by the un-timely death of my friend and colleague Robert Francis at the age of 65, musician, pianist and author of the popular 'Match-up' puzzle books.

An orginal ballad, written for solo vox, backing vox, violin, acoustic guitar, celeste, vibraphone, organ, bass guitar & drum set.

The inspiration for this first song, was prompted by the un-timely death of my friend and colleague Robert Francis at the age of 65, musician, pianist and author of the popular 'Match-up' puzzle books.

The drum set part is only a guide, and drummers can improvise throughout using my part merely as a guide!

The other parts should not be interpreted too literally, and there is freedom in the Guitar, Bass Guitar and solo Vocal part for some improvisation if desired.


Parts will be made available if required.

My sincere thanks are extended to Richard Wayland, for providing the MP3 for I Don't Wanna.

A New Voice!
This is so much a piece by Keith. The use of blues notes and movement throughout is typical of Keith. He is becoming something of a success now.With music published worldwide! This is his first attempt at "pop" music and I feel that he will carry his style into this genre.

Beautiful Ballad!
I Don't Wanna Let You Go by Keith Terrett is beautiful and quite touching. Keith has done a wonderful job of capturing a difficult time with both great sensitivity and artistry. The eclectic blend of instruments is yet another example of Mr. Terrett's highly skilled arranging at work. Extremely well done!

A New Direction for Keith
Full of feeling and emotion, I love this latest contribution from Keith. Great soulful lyrics combined with a cool bluesy tune make a fitting tribute to his dear friend. Musically I love the violin hook and the key change, and also the ending is just perfect, with the guitar demi-semis slowing to a pp close. I don't know whether Keith has thought about writing a musical in the Lloyd-Webber style - I would love to see more songs from the pen of this very original composer.
