MICHI HIRATA NORTH PIANO CONCERT TOWN HALL SEATTLE - APRIL 16TH

Debut at age 9 - Final Concert at age 91Michi is a “best friend” and has been for over 50 years. What I’m able to show her is the life of being an ordinary person. She was with me when something broke off my car and we had to ride in the cab with the AAA driver to the service station. Michi was with me when we took Auntie Masami to lunch and to the SuperMall, where Masami had a seizure, stiffening and falling strait backward as we were in the cashier line. We waited for the ambulance to take Auntie to the hospital, but I had to take Michi home for her late afternoon piano student lessons. Auntie recovered from that incident and lived several more years.
Having lunch last week, Michi and I had a good laugh. One of the things we have in common is that we have always saved the boxes of various omiage - hostess gifts and presents. Both of us could imagine that one day the box would be just the size we needed to wrap a gift we wanted to give someone!
Both of our husbands considered these boxes stupid. Both of us, remembered how mad we were when Sam and Murray decided it was time to clean a closet. In our first house, Sam and I had an attic and I remember the boxes, at least 10 or 15 of them landing on the stairs and tumbling down to the front door as he threw them out.
Michi also loves purses and she remembers that Murray threw one out that had something valuable to her inside and how mad she was.
Such is life for even a concert pianist and I am excited to hear her live concert at Town Hall next Sunday afternoon.
