He also talks about a concert featuring violinist Anne Akiko Meyers playing a new work by his former music teacher, Michael Daugherty. And why is E.T. perched on the table?

Craig DeSilva is glad to be playing recorded music on the air instead of playing for a live audience on stage as did when he studied piano. He began piano lessons when he was a child and continued piano studies at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (where he majored in broadcast journalism and minored in music) under the late Peter Coraggio.
