What a sweet and potent interaction.I found the ASL interpretation to also be exceptionally wonderful. I'd love to see this person given credit in the description for the dimension she contributed to the experience.

We all “have” music, but not many of us can express ourselves musically, intensely and succinctly, as folks like Esperanza. A rare and special talent she is.
