Cy Coleman was an American composer, songwriter, and jazz pianist... (wikipedia)
I'm lucky to be in a profession where you can keep getting better.
I decided during my teens that I wasn't going to have the life of a concert pianist, much to the chagrin of a lot of people who had put a lot of money into me!
We're doing a workshop over the first two weeks of December, I believe, with Graciella Daniele directing it.
Someone skipped on the rent and they left behind a huge upright piano, which got moved into our apartment so the other apartment could get rented out. I took to it and started playing.
I used to perform all the time but I haven't performed in New York in a very long time.
