Up North

I'm working and playing in northern Michigan.  Last night I attended an incredible concert in Bay View, Michigan.  The artists were piano students, the youngest 12... ALL incredible and talented students.  They performed works from Beethoven, Brahms, Scarlatti, and one of my favorites:  Ravel.
Keep in mind a young 19-year-old by the name of Ming Xio, WOW!  My friend Amy Rosacker met him by her cottage during the week of study - she invited him in and Ming has become a friend.  Amy was so stoked when Ming played her old upright or "vintage" piano as she fondly refers to the cottage keyboard.  She is certain that one day soon she will have the opportunity to tell this story about how the famous pianist Ming Xio played her piano!

Always fun up north.  It's been cold weather but the sun has just peeked out and it's time to play some tennis.  LOVE it.
