What's going on with your show with Christina? We have beta tested that and rejected it. So Christina and I were going to do a separate thing with the two of us and we filmed a few and played it back to see if we liked what we saw. And we just didn't enjoy doing it enough. So I think if it had been bad but we loved doing it we probably would have done it until we could do it well. But it was bad and we didn't love doing it.

Oh but separately Christina will be producing more piano solos. So she's working on her repertoire, building up her number of songs. So every day I go downstairs and she's practicing Chopin and she's working up two lists I guess. She's got one to play. So yeah geez she's super gifted. Watching Christy play Chopin, which I've just learned is among the hardest of all pieces to play, it's really remarkable. I just look at it I go I don't know how anybody could do that. It just seems impossible.
