I would love to say that I am Ben's biggest fan, but the truth is it is really our little girl. While I was pregnant with her, Ben would play soothing piano songs for me to relax and she defiantly had a reaction to his songs. Her love for his music has only intensified. As soon as she hears her daddy open the cover to his piano she comes running with delight to hop on his lap and play duets (Push random keys and buttons) to add to his beautiful songs. She loves music so much she begins tapping her feet or moving her hips when she hears his songs and falls asleep each night to piano music. Ben has defiantly enriched our home through his talent and taught our daughter to appreciate all kinds of music.
What has amazed me over the years of watching Ben play many different pianos, is that I have come to realize that he can make any piano sound like it is a grand piano no mater if it has broken keys or is out of tune. When Ben moved out to California he brought with him an old Roland piano that had some keys that were a bit out of tune and if hit would sound two times louder than normal. When Ben played I never noticed unless he pointed out the keys to me. Thanks to his wonderful grandmother Anadel, he now has a new beautiful piano that adds so much joy to his composing.
