Every musician wants to perform on this stage and here I am. I played my heart out. I wish I could listen to a recording of how I played. It was the most amazing performance of my life,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andrea and her fellow musicians also had time for site seeing, but she didn\u2019t make it to the statue of liberty.
