Thank you for sharing, Mr. Rather! It made me wish I had spent more time practicing but, alas, I never had the zeal it takes to accomplish the Piano. Mayor Wu is brilliant and incredible!

WOW! Wow, wow, wow!! Thank for this, for so many reasons, it’s the most I’ve smiled in weeks.

Proud to say i live in Massachusetts with many intelligent, honest and truly caring leaders. Mayor Wu works tirelessly but will take a little time some days to play her piano. The break refreshes her stamina. Definitely proof there are people in our government that are there for the right reasons.

I have admired Michelle Wu for a long time. The people of Boston have someone in their corner.

She has their back, so I hope they have her back.

Thank you, Dan Rather, for linking to this incredible performance. This is what is right with America. People who love music are passionate about what they do and do it for all the right reasons. Seeing people enjoying themselves, smiling, clapping profusely, a standing ovation... I visited Boston a few years ago with my daughter and two granddaughters. We walked part of the Freedom Trail and visited the Aquarium, Quincy Market, John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, and other places.

What an amazing person! She is the mayor of an large, vibrant city and has a growing family and plays magnificently on the piano. Her performance was a tour de force and she was brilliant. You made me smile today with this and I thank both of you for it, Mayor Wu and Dan Rather.
