She was inspired by it and learned to play Cast Your Fate to the Wind, note for note. It was painfully slow at first, but she slowly sped it up and totally mastered it with all the emphasis and pauses at the right time. Today, she can walk up to any piano and crank it out like a pro.

She did the same thing with Scott Joplin's Ragtime music. Everyone know The Entertainer from the Sting, but the Maple Leaf Rag was our favorite. She has a small repertoire, but all distinctly unique pieces of music.
