Sounds like it will be amazing!

Please ask Kathyk to drop me a pm here if you can with everything happening. I'd like to compare notes (sic). I don't know how to reach her.

You must be an awesome host.

Have fun!

Looking forward to pics and video. Miss you all!

Haven’t had time to post as Klaus and Isabelle are still here all week. We’re headed to the Jersey Shore for a couple days.

Some highlights include:

• KathyK and Ax doing a four hand piece by a couple of special composers.
• Kathy’s son ROCKED the F minor ballade
• Boy-nyc played the guitar and played Hey Jude on the piano.
• Mayla set a new standard for cuisine. Besides the beautiful charcuterie, she made ceviche on the spot while many watched and even videoed, and later made chaufa - the Peruvian version of fried rice.

Charcuterie. None catered. All done by Mayla with Mrs Mark and Mrs Klaus as sous chefs.

It was a lovely party! Thank you, Jon and Mayla!

Oh wow!!! Sounds like it was wonderful!!! And the photos are fantastic!

I'm sorry to have missed it, but thank you for sharing the photos!

[Jodi]

Great photos. That spread looks fantastic! How cool is it that this group of piano forum friends can still get together after all these years!

[Daniel.]

Charming!

I thought the same thing!!

Food looks wonderful and it's great to see so many PW/WTF/TNCR folks in one place.

[Bernard]

It's super to see everyone. Wow, what a spread!

[CHAS]

WOw! Looks great.

[Big_Al]

Wish I could have been there.

Are there any videos forthcoming so we can hear some performances?

Big Al

[pique]

what a fabulous feast! Any recordings of the performances?

And how reassuring to see how everyone else has aged as much as I have.

[jon-nyc]

There are some. Klaus is here a week and we’re at the Jersey shore now. Next weekend I’ll post some videos.

[pique]

Where at the Jersey shore? When I was a teen our family always rented a house on Long Beach Island.

Many thanks to Jon and Mayla -- so many treats, musical as well as gustatory! Also many thanks to Jon's new piano tech, because Jon's Bösendorfer never sounded so good or played so well. And if you ask me, a lot of the music making at this event was really fine.

It's amazing that many of us have known each other for such a long time. Some of our small kids back then are now professional musicians and music teachers, which is nuts because it seems like this began only a few years ago.

P.S. I'm glad I found this site, hi pique and Bernard and whoever else I may know who's lurking here

P.P.S. Not to complain of course, but Jon has me labeled as Mark, and Mark labeled as Kathy, no doubt because he unconsciously left off my label, since by now Jon and I are family.

[wtg]

So glad you found us @Bootsy ! @jon-nyc has mentioned you many times over the years. edit: All good things!

I’m @wtg, short for well-tempered gardener. I’m (relatively) new to this group, having joined in 2010, so I’m not part of the original Piano World crowd.
