On his way out the door to perform......


John playing Mephisto Waltz by Lizt


Recently, my son John played a concert for the all-Steinway donors at Eastern Michigan University.  He let me take this video just before he left the house.  He's wearing his grandfather's tails which happened to fit just right.   I'm sure my dad was glad to lend his tux for John to perform in, since my father was John's biggest fan.

Thought you might like to hear John play again.

Rosemary,

He is amazing! What a gifted son you have!

How long has he been playing?

What are his future plans?

He sounds like a concert pianist.

Rosemary said...

Jean, thank you! He started piano lessons (after begging for months) at age four. He'll be 19 this month. He's studying piano performance at EMU now. He's a sophomore.

Wow!

We bought one of those keyboards that lights up the keys that you should hit and I still can't do that right. He's really amazing, what a wonderful gift.
