Recital at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins.

Close to being full of audience; it was a great concert.

For encores, I played:

Here is something to share with all of you.

Below youtube video is about Nobuyuki Tsujii, he is a famous pianist from Japan.

<YouTube video of Nobu performing La Campanella>

He swims, he travels, he hikes on the mountains and he is the winner of 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

He received the gold medal along with Haocheng Zhang, from China.

 And you know what...........?

 He is blind since birth.

 If someone who has been blind for his entire life could  swim, climb up the mountains, travel around and play piano international level ......

 Those who have able body should be able to do more, can't they?

What is stopping us?

Nothing.

We just need to try.
