I left thinking August's lost his mind,.. When I read 'The Piano Lesson,' I realized it encompassed the entire African-American experience. August Wilson's legacy is as important as Martin Luther King's legacy, as important as Malcolm X's legacy and as important as Nat Turner.

Beethoven was probably better known as an improviser until people started paying attention to his symphonies. Liszt, taking Hungarian folk songs and making them into these orchestral piano fantasies.

You definitely see more of Martha's real personality. She's very witty and has a good sense of humor and is very smart. But you also see her strong personality come out, where she's talking over people and doing what she wants. That's who she is. I have to admit, I miss the parts of her show where she would talk about an industry, and go to a piano factory or show how peaches are harvested. But I guess you can get that content in a magazine.
