It was such an amazing experience to have met Joshua Bell last week at Bloomingdale's. He was there for an autograph signing. I'll never forget his gracious smile. When he greeted me with " Hello ", I reached across the table to shake his hand and replied, " Mr. Bell, it's a pleasure to meet you!" As he was signing my CD of Vivaldi Four Seasons, I nervously blurred out, " Mr. Bell, I bought your album last month. It's so inspirational that I've played it for my students in the classroom." He looked up with a smile and said, " Thank You." Now that was a memorable moment that I'll always remember.
