Without admirers, there can be no admired. Right? And today I had the privilege and honor to meet and greet a few more of my devoted fans. (L to R: Milena, Rodanthe, Mark, Aden, Jena – Photo credit: Elise Boller.)

And if there’s any question as to what or whom they are delightedly watching, wonder no more. It was me, of course. I played. They laughed and applauded, and I played some more. It just doesn’t get any better than this.

Well, actually, the highlight of the visit for me was when 5 1/2 year old Aden presented me with two wonderful drawings she did of me. In this photo, Elise caught me just turning around to look at them.

Aren’t they fantastic? I really love it when my fans send me pictures they drew of me. Thank you so much, Aden. And thank you, Elise, for taking such wonderful photos. And speaking of those photos, here’s one that Elise took after my sibling, Max, jumped up on the chair in front of the other piano. As you can see, I am doing my best to ignore him.
