I couldn't agree with you more! I, myself, am a pianist; not a professional, but music is my soul. And yes, for artistic people as you and me, I guess, the ultimate goal is to get the satisfaction from your own work. It's not important whether it happens in your small appartament or Carnegie Hall. I hope you'll understand me right if I tell you that you're too inteligent to be a professional artist; and by saying so, I don't mean to offend you. The pictures you posted are great and I thank you very much for them. I wish I could share some of my music with you, just don't know how.
P.S. If the "eye" in the first picture is yours, which I'm almost sure it is, I will be a fool not to admit that you have the most beautiful eyes I've ever laid my eyes on. Thank you again for the pictures.
