Sarah (Urshan) Goss has been playing the piano since the age 7, which makes it 80 years of playing the instrument with great passion and counting. Born of Assyrian/Persian father (originally from Urumiah, Iran) and a British/American mother in the United States, she is the mother of nine children, five girls and four sons. She studied Bible and was graduated from the Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, California in 1941. She has actively appeared in various social events such as art galleries or social displays as a model representer of local costumes and traditional cuisine in the USA or in Egypt, Israel and elsewhere. She also has played the piano in similar events in churches or other places and still does it upon friends' and acquaintances' special requests for people's weddings or public gatherings of all kinds. While wandering around for used and antique items in a thrift store on a late Saturday afternoon in February 2008, I met Sarah playing a very old but still working piano, and she was doing it so nicely that everybody stopped there for a while watching her play while listening to some great tunes she played so beautifully indeed at the age of 87. (That is btw only 3 years shy of being 90 years young!) Seeing her high spirited presence in that environment with the sound of her music just made all of us so happy and filled up with great joy! Sarah, I wish you hundreds of years to come your way with you playing the piano for all of us as beautifully as ever. (Please note: the quality of the video is low because a cellphone was used in capturing these moments. The noise in the background is also due to a radio being on and playing in high volume.)
