Promise
That did it! Seeing Ann Hobson Pilot, my high school classmate, newly retired first harpist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in a recital yesterday, lit a fire under me to tune up, dust off my classical pieces, and sit down to play my fabulous Salzedo grand. I may even schedule some lessons—that will surely get me to live up to my promise!
“If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time.” –Billy Joel
“I’m not likely to forget where I’ve been and what I’ve done and learned. I think it’s just as important to play new instruments as to play new pieces..” –Yo Yo Ma
“Trust your ability!” –Itzhak Perlman
Enjoy your day!

Hello, Edie! I read the same article this weekend and I was also inspired, to continue learning, playing, practicing! The beautiful photo of Ann at the harp is an inspiration! And you are an inspiration!! Blessings and love, Jane
