Yesterday, I had a very fun masterclass with the wonderful singers from the Longy School of Music. Tonight is a concert with two of my favorite people, Corrine Byrne and Gennard Lombardozzi. They’re former students of mine and are wonderful artists. Perhaps we’ll form a band.

The hotel had a mixup in my name. It was listed as Tennessee Long. I love it and may use it in the future!

I’m also remembering 30 years back when I auditioned for the MM piano program at the New England Conservatory in 1990. I was SO naive, frightened, wild, and daring. All I had was a little hope and a lot of insecurity. Thankfully I had practiced a lot and had at least some fingers to present, if nothing else. Life is much easier 30 years later, thank Zeus.
