Not sure what to say?

Thank you for your performances with all the famous cats. I´m from Minneapolis and have long since been away. Hope you enjoyed your stay.

I think of all of you when I look at Mama's piano in my living room. I hope to inspire your soon to-be- great granddaughter to play and love music...
