: My First Overseas Performance
Those of you who happened to be in Italy the last week of December may have caught my impromptu perormance at the Pantheon Inn in Rome on Dec 29th:
In case you’re doubting the authenticity of this picture, notice the bust on top of the piano. I got excellent reviews from the clerk at the front desk.
The remainder of you will have to settle for seeing me back in the USA.
