Today is the Day! (May 9, 2025)

Today is the day, and tonight is the night.

I have worked harder than I ever have, and prepared myself now over many days, weeks, months, and years.

My job now is to make sure all of the hard work, study, and practice show up on the keyboard at the performance. Only time will tell.

Much of today will be like any other day. I will go to my New York home at Mr. Cosmo’s, have a cup of espresso, play with his cats, check my sound on his superb Steinway, practice a lot, and then go to the recital.

I’m ready!
