I am very close with my two brother in laws, Carmen has his Doctorate in Music and teaches at one of the Colleges here in NJ.
He was a fabulous concert pianist himself, I turned and looked at him sitting in the audience a couple of rows back when Carmen Jr. finished his last piece perfectly and I believe if you wanted a photograph to describe Pride, you had the perfect image right there.

That's funny Phat, but to be honest with you you could here a pin drop. Not only were the younger ones absolutely amazing but the young teens, men and women to age 17 playing such powerful difficult pieces from the masters so precisely and with such passion that it was simply awe inspiring to be in the same room with them.
I am not a big fan of classical music generally speaking, some of it I find beautiful, but most seems to me to be an astronomical exercise is mans ability to master the complex.
I witnessed kids who have mastered it and the faces of the people in the theater said it all, awesome.

Willy, you and your entire family must be very proud of that young man...and with good reason!!...talent goes a long way, but obviously a lot of HARD WORK went into his level of play as well...BRAVO!!...
