Derick, it's a pretty common fact that Oriental people are ... way ahead of anglo-saxons in a lot of areas. It's not that you're doing anything wrong, but, I suspect she borders on being a virtuoso ... that means they come by their skills quite easily... and don't be so hard on yourself... that's me area of expertise

and I don't want that room, in our little cabin, getting too crowded...

Maybe she sacrificed normal childhood for overextended lessons. She plays excellently, however.

Hadn't watched the vid yet, but after your comment I had to see for myself.

Ya, it's almost creepy how emotionless she seems. Not a hint of anything from start to finish. Almost like a robot.

I can't imagine what she's gone through in her short life to make her like that. Hard to tell if it's a good thing or something very tragic.

Indeed. "Wired differently" to my point is kind of a perfect way to put it.
