Julie! Such an animated, energized piece of piano playing collaboration! Really a treat to watch and listen. With any luck at all (because it always seems to take some) they will find an ever-growing audience eager for everything they've got. Thanks for this -- I will check out the CD for sure.

And although nature provides the DNA, the environment shapes it. I can't imagine that you haven't rubbed off on them : )

(I also loved the orchestral version you posted. Brilliance.)

I gave a poetry reading (and I now incorporate some magic tricks as an amateur magician; the two things go down really well together!) to the loveliest bunch of ladies I've ever met in The Women's Institute in 25 years of giving talks to them.
I have several branches of the W.I. nearby in my home town but, if I ever join, I shall travel a few extra miles and go to the one I visited last week... it's only about 15 miles away but well worth it!

Now... I want to explain something: This thread has been SO uplifting, and so many of you have shared joyous news; thank you, thank you.
(With Donald Trump and now Boris Johnson to deal with, truly good news is even more welcome.)

I have a very significant, 3-digit number that has played a big part in my life for many years, for too many reasons to go into right now... but it is 414. This post is #412, so please indulge me and let me finish this thread on my important number.

Right,... now I'm going to start a new thread for even MORE good news!

Yay! I made it to 414, my "magical" number.

I never dreamed this thread would run for so long, so I'm going to lock it now (forgive me, but the reason is posted up above), and start a new one.

Thanks for all your wonderful news.

See you on No. 2 version.

Love to all,
Jayne
