Tom Foster and Noah Webster have been together for three years. In that time, Tom has completed his doctorate, Noah has begun working on his master's, and both men have come into their own as performers. Suddenly international recognition becomes a reality instead of a dream. They even perform at the dedication of a concert hall at the University of Aragoni.<br><br>But it's not all smooth sailing. They still have to battle Noah's Uncle Joe over the division of property he owned with Noah's late father. Tom's father has been distant ever since Tom chose music over law school. And Noah's mother's attitude toward his relationship with Tom leaves something to be desired. With their busy performance schedules, will Tom and Noah be able to make peace with their parents and get a fair deal?

The Performers

Tom took a bow and was called back twice before he played the first encore and the second encore. Dr. Morgan submitted a tune after that, and Tom improvised on it. Finally, he went to the crossing again to take his final bow.


The dean of the cathedral left his seat in the front row and walked up the steps to where Tom stood. He thanked Tom profusely for an amazing evening, then he said, “Before I give a benediction, I would like to ask a favor of Dr. Foster.”


Tom raised an eyebrow in question, and the dean said, “A little bird told me earlier that you are well-known for improvising on a particular nursery rhyme, and I’d like to ask you to do so for us at this time.”
