P.S. ShikamaruRocks is my sister - emphasis on her being female. Thank you for your time. ^.^

More ambitious piano...

Remember back in the day when I posted the video of the Schubert Trio Shika and I were hoping to learn? Well, we haven't learned it, but that's beside the point. XP Our pianist for that piece is having us cat-sit for her over Christmas and...
