A lifetime of enjoying duets

Horray for Jaya Hoy.

"Piano duets are in the air," (News-Optimist, Oct. 15) says Hoy and I agree. I love duets.

I remember the day we got our piano. It was the beginning of our love affair with music. My sister, Marj, and I started music lessons at the same time and soon played duets. We loved every minute of practicing and performing. We have been playing duets for nearly 70 years. I have played with my music teachers and students and now have a daughter who enjoys duets.

The biggest thrill of all was three generations playing two pianos, eight hands at the Hafford Music Festival. We won a trophy.

You are right, Jaya, "something magical happens with piano duets." I'm sorry a couldn't be at the concert because I was celebrating my 80th birthday.
