David Dove of Nameless Sound Productions had me come to Houston to do some teacher training sessions and workshops in shelters for battered women, the homeless, families with a parents with HIV, and community centers. There was also a performance with my trio consisting of Nioka Workman, Forbes Graham and my self. To promote the trio concert I was asked to do an interview at the University of Houston's radio station, KUHF. When I arrived in the studio, the host pointed to a nine foot Steinway grand piano and asked if I would play it on the show. It wasn't what I had in mind. Piano was not what I'd be playing at the concert. But after running some scales on it I was hooked. It was one of the best pianos I've ever played. The station broadcast classical music only and I was the first of a kind I was later told.
