Thanks Sue.
I would love to go, but I need to look after LeeAnne and I have nobody that can look after her at the moment.
I understand that he is a real piano wizard.
Love,
Vicky

I was lucky enough to see Lang Lang last year. I also read his book. I think that he is a wonderful pianist. I wish that I could come to Toronto, but at the moment my schedule does not permit it.
