With a tone so rich, I would never be afraid of the dark. Steinway is the only and the best!

Well, my dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years.

I do the things I like to do. It's sort of a bigger version of having more than one hobby.

What a Joy, to travel the way of the heart
