Three weeks ago one of my good friends was married and had a pianist play at his wedding. The pianist happened to be my old piano teacher. For my second cultural music event write up I have decided to write about the musician named David Hetrick. David Hetrick has been playing the piano since he was five years old. David Hetrick gave piano lessons when he was eight years old. This man is so comfortable on the piano it amazes me. After the wedding ceremony David played lots of entertaining songs, many classical pieces by Bach and Beethoven, considering these are his favorites.

Mr. Hetrick doesn't play much more for the public, so to see him today is a rarity. I have spoken to him recently and he is moving to France with his wife to retire.
