The Concert Is Tomorrow! (May 8, 2025)

With my concert taking place tomorrow I am not thinking about much else, and as such I continue to tell myself, as Mr. Cosmo keeps telling me “Just relax! Believe you can do it! Be magnificent!”

I am continuing to say those words to myself over and over again while I eat pasta, this time with tomatoes, large shrimp, fresh scallops, and the first strawberries of the season, all grown and picked outdoors.

I’m sure that all of you know by now how much I love food, but I also think that the best food is what is freshest and in season.  This way one does not need to do a lot to prepare or season it because the flavors come through on their own.

Tomorrow is a big day for me. It is also one of the many important preparations for my Carnegie Hall solo debut next year.  I will practice a bit more and then rest.
