What a joyous delight. Thank you! And I realize, this would have been the perfect night to ask you to play those Wheeler & Woolsey favorites, “Keep On Doin’ What You’re Doin’” and “Sing to Me.” Next time perhaps!
Marvelous playing. We are grandparents. Our daughter is an opera singer so is her husband. They have a nice piano -- what inspired you at an early age -- the granddaughter is five.
I didn't start playing until I was ten years old, but I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time to meet a number of other professional ragtime and jazz pianists.
