I'm finding this discussion of whether a performer should smile
hilarious.:-)

It's especially funny since Hilary's collaborative pianist, Valentina
Lisitsa's (see: <http://www.cami.com/?cat=Instrumental&webid=281>) often
big smile while performing has been noted as "distracting" by some
critics.  This was addressed a few years ago by the Chicago Tribune:
"...Lisitsa's constant smile as she plays might be suspect in some
pianists, but here it mirrored an irresistibly smiling sound."

Not entertaining if you don't smile and "suspect" if you do.  You just
can't win!  Keep it up guys, it's bringing a big smile to my face.
