When I checked my email this morning I had the coolest surprise. Back on March 7, I had written a poem titled “The Jazz Pianist (To Bob Milne).” Several of you even commented on it, which was very nice.
This morning, however, there was another comment, and you’ll never guess who it was from. Yep, Bob Milne himself. He said, “Oh my goodness. I had no idea anyone had done this. Yes, I played concerts three days after carpal tunnel surgery. Your poem is wonderful. Thank you. Bob Milne.”
Can you imagine that? Of course I responded. My question is…how in the world would he have seen this, even though it’s almost seven months later? I’m so curious.
At any rate, it’s exciting for me to know that he read the poem I wrote about his fantastic performance.

Hi Maggie. Every now and then I become curious as to what people are saying about me, so i do a search for my name. I found your lovely poem and was amazed to learn that anyone would think it unusual to play soon after surgery. I’m lucky to have people ask me to play for them so always show up no matter what.
