What's better than a piano (trick question: nothing ?)? How about two of them?!? I'll be joining Thomas White for some piano duet goodness today at Purple Cat Vineyard and Winery from 1-4pm. This is a rare event to see people setting fire to the pianos (maybe, literally :)) What will we play? Find out this afternoon!
