35years....

I have known her name since I was a teenager. She is a friend of my friend K. I have heard about her so many times, but I haven’t had a chance to meet her for 35 years. She happened to visit Seattle, and we met for the very first time today.... It would have been much nicer if K could join us today, but K passed away last December after a long battle with cancer. Two middle-aged women (with tears in our eyes) finally got together through K. It was an amazing day.See More

Nothing is more fun and relaxing on a sunny Saturday afternoon than just sitting on my patio ( + ice tea) browsing the internet for some musicians who are new to me.

Magnus Hjorth, a young pianist from Denmark. The great discovery of today!
