I want to preorder your complete memoir! I grew up in the household of my mother the piano teacher, so my perceptions of The Piano Lesson are quite different. Iluminating to hear about it from the other side. Your mother sounds organized, perceptive, and completely engaged with you all. Wonderful.
Remember, as a writer I pick and choose. My mother was proud of us all, cared about academics, piano, an introvert in a family of extroverts- at least my father the extrovert was always encouraging us in that direction. As the 5th of 6, I was on a bit of a longer leash! I’ll let you know when the book-signing happens!
Another fine chapter fr the autobiography!
Thanks, Connie. I guess I’d better get to work!

Am privileged to be included in your wonderful, kinky story about your life. By the way, you also have perfect pitch.
Glad you’re enjoying it, Barbara. My perfect pitch is a curve ball!
WOW! This was a ramble of the best kind, Kate! Fun to read and realize how much information you gave in such a creative way.
Thanks, Beth. I have found my happy place with Substack- forces me to create a piece for a deadline. 😊
