Amy,

Just saw your post. Yes, Coach Carlisle is very comfortable on the piano bench. We were lucky enough to work with him and the Dallas Mavericks twice in the past year. Once, when Coach Carlisle performed the national anthem at the Dallas All Sports Banquet on one of our Steinway concert grand piano and again when Bruce Hornsby performed the national anthem at the Dallas Mavericks first home game this year.

All the Best,
