Well, on the fortunate side of things, you never know what is going to happen. You seem to reach out to every possible access point, and more often than not its opened the most interesting and unlikely doors. I salute you! 8)

Thanks.

The funny thing is that CBS called me on Friday morning, to shoot that same afternoon.
To say I wasn't ready would be an understatement LOL
Luckily it went well :)

Hey this is really fantastic to see you on the news! It never ceases to amaze me what things the internet invents.

I use to joke with friends when one of them  paid me back money they owed me, I use to say to my other friends, "This is so I can remain friends with him/her for another week" :) I can't imagine taking money from someone for being their friend though, this scheme seems more like meet someone with skills/interests that you would like to know about. I have plenty of friends who have little interest in my hobbies and interests and like to simply chat about life, family, events around our town etc.

Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
