      I was much younger and didn't know of the Nice until I developed such a love for ELP. Thank goodness for the record stores! Bought everything I could get my hands on. I still have all of my vinyl collection including everything I could get ahold of with the Nice. Wouldn't trade or take anything for them. Keith Emerson introduced me to classical music through his interpretations of what he played. I miss so him so much, but this young woman keeps his memories alive by her phenomenal playing. We are fortunate indeed to have her.

    I was told as a student at Pre-Med and in Chiropractic that it is the brain that controls the body. I followed a course that said it is the body that controls the brain.
    Watching and especially hearing Rachel create music, and knowing that she is living a life with an advantage I never had. I was told to move my lips and never make a sound in choir practice. There were musical teachers that made me handicapped in my life.
    I have always loved music, and watching and listening to Rachel brings out feelings that no other musician has been able to even come close. What a talented woman.
    Merci.
