Jeff Bjorck: I wish for an end to war and/or suffering, including in a sovereign and free Ukraine, Israel/Gaza, Burma, Sudan, Nigeria, the USA, and elsewhere in the world.
I wish to a return to sanity in our country, including a return to healthy checks and balances between the three branches of Government and a return to the supremacy of the Constitution in all legal matters.
Elizabeth Thompson (Executive Director Oregon Coast Humane Society): My wish is that senior medical dog Shadow finds a home of his own.
Igor Lisul: My two holiday wishes are:
The end of all wars on the planet
Good luck with new releases to all true and real artists!
Jeff Lovejoy: #1 May all beings be happy and free from suffering and
#2 (sort of borrowing from Craig Urquhart last year) May I have the strength to face my Spirit's plan.
Steve Yip: Wish One: May love of music provide a strong foundation of resilience and strength for the coming year. While many of us seek inner peace, we cannot deny that our lives have been rendered unpredictable.
Wish Two: May we be informed by rhythms of struggle. Let this guide us into the holidays and beyond with uncompromising strength and connection.
Beth Hilton: I wish for a peaceful future for all of us, and especially for the 4 new beautiful babies that our family and friends have been blessed with this year!
Praying that the desire to support live music & indie artists enters mainstream consciousness.
Isadar/ Fabian Thibodeaux: Wish #1: I wish everyone a fantastic Holiday season with their friends, families, and loved ones.
Wish #2: That music made by humans can feed the soul, and not be replaced by AI.
Fiona Joy Hawkins: My holiday wish is that my personal friends, music friends, neighbours and family all stay healthy and away from trouble. My hopes seem to diminish each year, at this rate, within a few years I'll be hoping everyone is simply breathing. The world is not a happy place.... bring back HAPPY!!!
Lisa Hilton: I think I have the same wish every year: to be a better pianist! To improve my velocity, improvisation, touch, technique and sight reading!
That's it!
Wishing everyone in the world a happy and peaceful holidays.
Bernward Koch: 1) Even though it is winter now, I wish everyone renewal, just as it constantly happens in nature. In positive thoughts, creativity, spirit, and soul.
2) I wish everyone a relaxed, peaceful, and contemplative Christmas season with healthy rest.
Andrew Diggle: Do you have the tradition of "stir-up-Sunday" on your side of the pond? It's this coming Sunday (Nov. 23), and over here, we stir up the ingredients for the Christmas pudding. The pudding is steamed the next day. Everyone in the family takes turns to stir the pudding mixture and make a wish. It's important that the pudding is stirred clockwise. If stirred anticlockwise, the wishes will not come true.
Do you have anything like that in the US? If not, just smile and add it to your list of those quaint little things that English people seem to do.
Louis Colaiannia: As this year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank every single person who has ever supported my music — whether you listened, shared a kind word, left a comment, offered encouragement, or even shared honest criticism. You’ve all played a part in shaping my journey.
Your energy, your feedback, your belief (and even your challenges) have inspired me more than you know. Every message, every listen, every reaction has pushed me to keep growing, keep learning, and keep chasing this dream with everything I’ve got.
I appreciate each and every one of you. Truly.
Wishing you all a beautiful holiday season filled with peace, joy, and the kind of inspiration you’ve given me all year long.
Thank you for being part of this journey. More to come — and I’m grateful to have you with me.
Tim Neumark: My wishes:
1. More time for music
2. Six more signatures to remove the horrible HOA from my neighborhood.
Beverly Ritz: My wishes:
To be able to hear, play and share lovely piano music always.
For the world to choose peace in music, in relationships, and in every facet of life.
Louis Anthony deLise: 1. I wish for our Constitution to receive the honor and respect it deserves.
2. I wish that the traditions of "patriarchy" be abolished and that women would receive the respect and deference they more than deserve.
Gary Schmidt: Continue to have good health
Get on Peaceful Piano playlist on Spotify lol
Dan Kennedy: The wish we protect nature.
The wish we allow our feelings (and not ignore them all).
Louis Landon: 1. That love becomes a contagious virus that everyone on planet earth contracts.
2. That world peace is finally achieved after the love epidemic.
Suzanne Ciani: I wish that we could stop gun violence.
Jon Mutchler: Hmmm…..
Wish that “pianos and pianists” in the home would become common and popular again, and that the value of a used piano could again be worth more than the cost to move it.
Craig Urquhart: I wish that humanity would find a way to channel all the creative energy we spend on creating weapons to kill each other in to finding ways to help each other.
I wish for happiness and good health for all my friends and families.
Greg Maroney: 1. This season, I wish that humanity awakens to the immense beauty and vastness of the universe, and to the precious place our world occupies within it. If we lived our life in wonder and amazement, the world would be a totally different place.
2. I also wish for success in all our musical endeavors may our creativity flourish and may golden prosperity grace our art.
Jon Dahlander: 1) That the music that all of us create continues to find people where they are and when they need it most. There is such a healing power in music and our creativity is needed in today's world now more than ever.
2) My second wish is that kindness, compassion, caring and empathy for others never go out of style.
Kathy Parsons: Peace on Earth (all of it!) & Good Will to ALL (everywhere!)
Jim Ottaway: 1. Peace and harmony throughout the world.
2. Happiness, opportunities and good health for my family and friends. Every good wish for a joyous Christmas and a happy and healthy 2026.
Adele Lechien: My wish: That we, as a family, nation, and world, figure out how to love each other again and find joy in the breath of the life of the living.
Ed and Carol Nicodemi: 1- Despite the craziness in the world- We hope that people who have expressly chosen to hate what they don't understand...will come around and realize that peace is the ONLY way.
2. We hope that health and humanity will supercede monetary greed- so that cures for diseases will surface, instead of being hidden.
