Great to see new Roger William posts! If I recall correctly, Richard Nixon played the piano, so I imagine he could really appreciate Roger's virtuosity.

Yes Nixon did play the piano. You may enjoy the video, "Pianist to the Presidents" where Roger shares his impressions of them! ua-cam.com/video/ClBDzDzqlcw/v-deo.html
