Keep doing whatever you’re doing and always stay authentic. We need more young couples like you in the world. Merry Christmas

    I had to read other comments first to see how others answered things to see how far off I was in my thinking. Well, I wasn't off at all. Andrea plays beautifully and I could see how her lessons paid off. I took piano for 12 years. Then there is Dean who is just a natural and so wonderfully enthusiastic. You both are so very talented. My vote is for the two of you to keep on like you are that way you both are winners.

So happy I found you a while back, I appreciate your skill and your eye for style, and your videos are so professional edited (thanks Dean) so it is pure joy and excitement to watch! So thanks again for bringing us videos!!

    I'd say you are both talented pianists! Your bentwood rocker, which turned out amazing, it is from the late 1970s. I have had several over the years and I'd bet someone took a seat or back off of another one to repair it. I have done that and still have one in my storage that needs a a bit of work and some new paint. Those chairs are so comfortable. Love your channel!

    Thank you for a wonderful video. Your story made me recall our proposal story. I went to my wife’s home where her little sister was having a slumber party. Try as i might, I could not get the kids out of the living room, so we went out to my car and while my wife sat in the front seat, i got down on one knee outside the car and proposed. That was 46 years, two kids, and five grandkids ago. Merry Christmas!

  • @StoicBarbarian
    @StoicBarbarian Před 2 lety
