Piano Friends!
Thank you so much for organizing a special surprise party this afternoon.  Harry was thrilled!  I enjoyed viewing the awe when he opened the downstairs door to find all of you there with "surprise!" and flowers and balloons and cake and coffee and cheese/crackers and fruit and sweet regards all around. 
And, really!  A John Singer Sargent print!  Satomi, what a sweet surprise!  Thank you!
And, really!  His favorite composers are the 19th-20th century Russians?!  Who knew?!!

Stories of his upbringing and movement, his accomplishments and commune lifestyle choice.  Again, who knew??!!  You all asked!!
Excellent!
All of us thoroughly enjoy his presence in our lives.  I absorb it as a unique privilege since 1997!  (I do remember the first recital.  I chose not to play so intimidated was I at that time!)

My appreciation to you special organizers!
ciao,
Shell
