April 10, 2017

By Lauriate Roly   “I’ll give you ten dollars”. Well, no… What do you mean, No? If people really want to hear me play because they like it, I don’t need money to please them.  It’s enough for me that they enjoy my playing.  I love to play, and I love to hear myself play.  […]

Lauriate Roly Remembers: A Kiss is Still a Kiss

February 14, 2017

By Lauriate Roly Something that never excited me, was to kiss someone. In fact, I hated  it.
