Thanks for mentioning her again. I remember you commenting about her before, but I neglected to write her name down. I've not heard any recordings by her before, and will definitely give her a listen.

Why thank you. I was fortunate to have astute and committed parents (mom in particular), who saw to it that the talent I exhibited on a toy chord organ at age seven was brought to fruition via piano lessons from a wonderful teacher and daily practice for twelve years. She did so much for us (my brother and me), but I think we will always be most grateful for the gift of Music. It's a "Soul thing."
