Emily’s piano piece not for Ellen DeGeneres this time

Pianist Emily Bear, appearing about 10 minutes ago on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” for the fifth time in a year and a half, surprised DeGeneres on her 999th episode.
DeGeneres told the audience that every time Emily, 7, of Rockford, appears on the show, she plays a new piano piece she’s written for DeGeneres. But Emily, wearing a long white dress that she performed in at the White House last year, smiled and quickly, but politely, corrected DeGeneres. “This time it’s not for you,” Emily said. “It’s for the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.” She entitled the piece, “Tomorrow’s Wishes.”
After playing the dreamy-sounding, classical number for a minute or two, DeGeneres told Emily, “You’re amazing. Again, amazing.”
