What a great year it has been! I have learned so much, including this new hi-tech way of connecting to my family, friends and everyone who has stopped in and visited richmatters.com in 2009.

It’s late evening once again, my favorite part of the day, here in front of my fireplace, dancing flames, strings of twinkling colored lights and soft music, turning my room mystical, it seems.

Oliver Wendell Holmes has suggested that ‘many people die with their music still in them.’ If he’s referring to the sounds I’m trying to produce with my piano, I agree. The music is still in me somewhere!
