Amanda – of course I don’t mind! Your studio site looks great, and I’m so glad to hear you enjoy Color In My Piano. Thanks for leaving the comment!
Great quote Joy,
Do you know which Opera house was credited with saying it?

Nope, sorry Jay — I tried to do a little sleuthing on Google to figure it out, but was unable to find it. Let me know if you figure it out!
