RIP Natalie Trayling
Farewell to a Melbourne icon.
Natalie Trayling captivated passers by in the streets of Melbourne for decades, where she'd play her electric piano with a passion and emotion that came from a life both blessed and cursed with more than her fair share of both. So connected was she to her music, she could sit down and play songs she'd spontaneously compose before you. The allure of her melodies was that you could be drawn into her heart and soul with every stroke of a key. Her music was as authentic as the pain or the joy that her tunes could transport you through. Melbourne will never be the same. We'll never again turn a corner and experience that wonder of seeing her hunched over her piano, completely lost in her music, and getting lost alongside her. Natalie was supported by her devoted and dedicated son Matthew, who transported Natalie to locations around the CBD and set up her equipment, and then sat in the background for as long as Natalie wanted to play. youtu.be/30rxzkAYy7k
