This is the best part of our family: my wife Bella and our daughter Regina. Bella is a music teacher at the Elementary School in Mount Vernon, NY. Regina graduated last year from Conservatory of Music at SUNY at Purchase, NY (within 3 years, with Honors – I am very proud of her!) They both play piano and, as you can guess, are professional musicians.

Regina is a very talented singer-songwriter, performs often in NYC (mostly in East Village). She has a site of her own (sorry, something is wrong with her 'Guestbook' from beseen.com; I hope, I will be able to help her soon, of course, if she wants to...) She recorded a CD last year – you can listen to some of her music there – and is recording a second one.

The not-so-good part of our family is represented by our almost 12 years old son Barry and myself. Unlike them, instead of piano, we both play violin but, since we are amateurs, we do it specifically for our own pleasure, when we have time. That actually means, we practice not so often...

But there is, though, some similarity for all four of us: we all line up to use the computer...

Here are my parents and my only brother Boris. My parents live next block from me. Boris lives now in Albany, NY. He spent 11 years (!..) to achieve his goal – to become an American MD (back in Russia, he was a doctor for many years before, I am proud of him!)
