In a heartfelt caveat, I must acknowledge a slight inaccuracy in one of the stories shared during the episode. My wife has gracefully informed me that there was a “brief” period where she didn't enjoy playing the piano and lost 'a little' confidence, but she never truly hated it. It's a humbling reminder of the nuances in personal experiences and the importance of accurate storytelling. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
