The scan is to see if there's been any new developments and if another surgery is necessary. Given my current condition, I'm thinking it is but I'll have to wait and see.

I did submit my piece for the recital. I wish it were better but it's what I have to offer.

      I did submit my piece for the recital. I wish it were better but it's what I have to offer.

      P1, that's how I feel every time I submit a piece! I just keep telling myself not to let perfect get in the way of good enough. 🙂 I'm pleased you decided to submit it and I hope your health improves soon.

      navindra What a great selection of pieces. I did wonder if I might have got the number 1 spot this time, but anyway it's more appropriate for @rogerch to be number 1, considering his playing is always top notch! I'm very intrigued by the appearance of a "Special Guest" with @Sophia - it looks like we'll have a veritable constellation of stars appearing at this recital!

            Thanks Nightowl !

            I just happened to look at PianoTell a few minutes after @navindra opened the recital. Lucky timing!

                    It is one of her cats. Either Simba or the adult kittens, Sandy or Lionel. But it could also be the kitten toy keyboard. Or a hand puppet like the one in her tap dancer video. Her husbands plays bagpipe, maybe she is doing a duet with him. And I wouldn't be surprised if she got a drummer monkey:

                    Ahhh, come on Sophia, what is it?🤬🤬🤬

                        No more hints. Now you will have to be patient for only 295 hours 34 minutes and maybe a few seconds more

                            Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to make this recital. It’s caught me at an awkward time where I’m currently in the middle of learning two new pieces. I look forward to seeing the other submissions though!

                            rogerch Seems like I have a few more usable takes to choose from than I originally thought!

                            I was sure I had made many mistakes during the actual recording, but I don't even notice them on playback. I'm sure I fuddled the pedal more than once. I just have to pick a take now. 🙂

                            Hmm... should I pick the hat version or the no-hat version? 🎩

                            Sadly, I made some basic mistakes on the video footage... I should have known better, a tiny bit more of effort would have gone a long way to avoiding the problems, but I got a bit negligent with the stress of setup and recording with limited time and didn't do proper test shots.

                            Oh well! I'll made do. I have a ton of work to put it all together now. 😃

                            Come on everyone, there's still time to get your performances in!
