Everyone said it made the digital piano sound\u00a0really nice &amp; warm with a rich, full tone much more like an acoustic piano.<\/p>\n<p>A Facebook friend from uni days, flautist &amp; teacher Linda Rossen, turned up with her mother, Iris, and her composer\/guitarist son, Max.\u00a0During my break it was so good to catch up in person. Iris requested Chopin so I played five of my favourite mazurkas. It was very nice to have three pairs of\u00a0very\u00a0finely-tuned classical music ears to play for! (Sorry, didn&#8217;t get a photo.)<\/p>\n<p>Later my brother Lawrence, and his ladyfriend Lori (direct from Oklahoma City), came in for an organic beef burger. Great to finally meet the lovely Lori\u00a0in person.<\/p>\n<p>I played a couple of Jones originals:\u00a0Kuljack and the White Swan (a pas de deux),\u00a0piano music for ballet which my father composed in 1962 when I was one, and my own Androgyne Prophecy, composed when I was 15\/16. Now Lori\u00a0wants my music\u00a0for her school teaching so I will have to prioritise my recording project.<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mixmargaret.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/20150614.04-Soul-Tree-Lori-MDJ72.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mixmargaret.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/20150614.04-Soul-Tree-Lori-MDJ72.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"20150614.04 Soul Tree, Lori &amp; MDJ72\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mixmargaret.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/20150614.04-Soul-Tree-Lori-MDJ72.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mixmargaret.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/20150614.04-Soul-Tree-Lori-MDJ72.jpg?resize=400%2C300 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mixmargaret.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/20150614.04-Soul-Tree-Lori-MDJ72.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mixmargaret.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/20150614.15-Soul-Tree-LJJ-Lori72.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-86\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mixmargaret.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/20150614.15-Soul-Tree-LJJ-Lori72.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"20150614.15 Soul Tree, LJJ &amp; Lori72\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mixmargaret.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/20150614.15-Soul-Tree-LJJ-Lori72.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mixmargaret.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/20150614.15-Soul-Tree-LJJ-Lori72.jpg?resize=400%2C300 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mixmargaret.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/20150614.15-Soul-Tree-LJJ-Lori72.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>See my main site for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixmargaret.com\/soul-tree-organic-cafe-glen-forrest.html\" target=\"_blank\">Classical Sundays at Soul Tree Organic Cafe<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I played piano in the new-look caf\u00e9.
