I'm happy that I found out about this. I stay away from Instagram for it tends to leave me paralized often. But I'm looking forward to hearing about your processes here as I'm also a musician and a parent and on the search for a good way forward.

Looking forward to your thoughts. I'm certainly reeling from everything that's going on, and have been surprised by how intimidated and despondent it's made me. I was encouraged by your comments though, so keep them coming! And of course I've enjoyed your playing so much for many years, so looking forward to music-related stuff as well!

You describe yourself as a “piano player”…..not as a “pianist”.

I like that. Let’s just play. It’s a good word.

Yes, I prefer to play the piano rather than “be” a pianist — I’m wary of identifying too much with any one particular role I play, especially the one I’ve built a career around.

I am not what I do. I am what I am.

It’s an interesting reflection on how one judges a person. He is a lawyer, she is a doctor, he is a bricklayer…..
