Nora …purr and beautiful music is hard to find.Thank you for the purr music.I wish you could duo with Andre Rieu – please do !
love you like my own xxxxx.lol steph
I think Nora really knows piano! I also play and Nora is probably as good as I am! I bet if Nora really practices she can play really cool songs, like ”Cool Cat”By Louis Armstrong or ”Ode to joy”By Beethoven.
I hope Nora will keep playing and accomplish some real songs!
