I am from Idaho and visited a friend in Seattle last week. We were discussing our favorite musicians, and he hinted that he "might" have heard your performance in Chicago. Needless to say, I threw my arms up in the air with jealousy screaming "That's not fair!!"
Then he told me he went to your lecture the hour before. You could only imagine my reaction to that statement.
Thank you for your inspiration. Due to your recordings, I have learned 3 preludes and fugues, and won't stop till I'm at 24. Thank you!
