Day 14: Big Crowd in Grand Island

I was so shocked to find out that the audience in Grand Island, NE would be somewhere between 800-1200 people!

The high school auditorium that it took place in was great.  Before the concert, thirty-some piano students sat on stage with me and we talked about everything from improvising to the types of classical music, with the parents and teachers sitting out in the hall.  A few kids even played for me!

The response from the audience was great!  I was amazed that the audience was all seated and ready to go before the 7:30pm program was supposed to start!

Tomorrow, we're heading further east toward Fremont, NE!

A lot nicer when it's not covered in dirt :P

Day 13: Back to Central Time

About 6.5 hours of driving later...

and we're in Grand Island, Nebraska!  Whew!  Not much to say except that there were tons of cornfields and lots of straight roads.

Tomorrow, I've got a children's outreach program and then a concert in the evening!  



Peanut shells can be thrown on the floor at this restaurant! 
The next table over must have eaten a lot of peanuts... :P






What happens when you're on cruise control on a flat, straight road for a long time...
