We were walking through a remote area of the hotel and heard this lush, beautiful music coming from a young man playing a grand piano. Its beauty inspired me to get back to playing my little piano at home. Is it possible Alex was visiting the Fairmont Hotel in Lake Louise in Canada in mid-September of 2009?

He is amazing in the way he pulls together all his musical influences and creates his own unique art. Please forward my request to his mother or direct me to a site where I can purchase his music. (I did already search the net and came up emptyhanded.) Thanks, JohnG I would also like to purchase this young man’s work.

Kolbie was diagnosed with POTS Syndrome. She was not doing well when we got to the Mayo Clinic and was pretty sad. POTS is an everyday struggle but Alex's music soothed her and she smiled when she heard him play and we stopped to listen. Thank you Alex for bring my beautiful little girls smile back!

I have never been so touched by the beautiful sound you make. What a gift from God! You have been given something special from God. People don't understand, especially people your own age. Their first response is to single you out as "odd". Don't listen to them. You are special. God want's you to share this gift with the world. I am going through the loss of my husband and some other situations in my life and when I heard your music I felt the peace of God just flow through my body. Please don't hide this beautiful gift. I pray for you and your family daily. I look forward to hearing you all over the place!! God bless you my special friend. Gods peace be with you. Alex,

Creutz is a German name and Alex has adopted that name for some reason which is my mothers maiden name Alex Walton originally born in Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati area, Grandmother Ilene Creutz (my mother). Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area has a lot of German heritage and my family are the only known Creutz in Northern Kentucky area. Just thought that might help and make more sense.
