My grandson and future concert pianist born 3 September 2014 at 03.36 BST, weighing in at 7 pounds 11 ounces!

[Timtin]

Congratulations! Presumably he'll specialise in playing Kapustin.

[HullandHellandHalifax]

Congratulations! Presumably he'll specialise in playing Kapustin.

Maybe in the future Timtin, but at the moment he will be practising the Music for Toy Piano by John Cage I would think.
Congrats to the other Tim on the new star of the future being entrusted to him.
regards
Brian

Thank you both - we're over the moon! He's certainly got long fingers, which is a good start...

Cheers

Tim
