This morning I received a link to the video embedded below – a recording of the “Never too Late” recital from my fun-filled day-long chamber music festival held in Naperville a few weeks ago.  It was created by folks from Naperville’s robust public access station – they had three cameras in the building – they mean business!

At the same time, posting it here sure feels like a “putting my money where my mouth is” moment.  My trio, the most beginner of the bunch, is first up – I’m center stage:

Thanks for reading.
