Hi Paul; a little story on the side I'd like to share with you. A few days before my graduation ceremony from middle school many moons ago, my school principal (a very kind and older nun) asked me if I wanted to do something special for my graduation ceremony. I reluctantly asked him if I could play and sing a song during the ceremony in front of the crowds. She nodded and said "let me think about it". That evening, I was pleasantly surprised to see a 9 foot grand Steinway piano on stage. Long story short, it was announced at the beginning of the ceremony that a special performance would be held by one of the students and asked the audience to stick around. Well, I almost fell to the floor when my name was announced and I had the pleasure to play that Steinway and sing "Sympathy"!!! That was a very special moment in my life that I hold very dear to my heart. Thought I'd share that with you. As always Paul, GREAt, GREAT image and a great reminder of that special day in the life of this kid.
