The recital was held at a place called the Butterworth center. Mrs. Butterworth (not the syrup lady) was the granddaughter of John Deere. (As a sidenote, when we told Adam that he asked "How can a company have a granddaughter?") Anyway, Mrs. Butterworth donated her mansion to the community for hosting of cultural events. The use of the facility is free for any group wanting to use it and is a wonderful place for cultural events. It has a library (or parlor or something) with a high domed ceiling. The ceiling is covered by a mural that was imported from Italy. The woodwork in the whole mansion is extravagant. It was a fun place for the recital!

Again, there were around 30 kids or so that performed and the whole event took about an hour. After the show was over, a man, a complete stranger came over and bent down to Adam and said, "Let me just tell you young man that I enjoyed your piece most of all." Adam just beamed. He really did an outstanding job (and so did Tammy - she was way more nervous than Adam was)!

It's fun to watch our little man growing up and learning new skills. He continues to excel at just about everything he does.

That's awesome guys! Both Adam and Tammy played wonderfully. I remember always really enjoying duets. It's so fun to play on a piano with 4 hands!
Wow! Sydney and I just listened to your duet, and are both very impressed! Way to go, Adam and Tammy!
Those were both beautiful! I'm glad he is doing so well and seems to enjoy it!
I don't know which amazes me most:How good Adam is at the piano, or the technology that lets me hear it across the country. That was pretty cool to get to hear them actually playing. Thanks. Keep up the good work Adam. I wish I could play the piano.
