He's 103-years-old and has been called the Jackie Robinson of classical music. Wait until you meet him! Also on this week's show, another honor for Food Network star and owner of Aurora's Báhn and Butter Bakery; tips from the Aurora designer featured on a hit HGTV program; Winter Bike to Work Day; and a four-legged friend causes quite a stir at this week's City Council meeting.
