Every musical chance they took worked. Richard Stoltzman's pianissimo playing was as close to perfection as it gets. The quartet of players were: Peter Serkin, Ida Kavafian, Fred Sherry and Richard Stoltzman are friends from The Marlboro Festival. They were magnificent. It was a once in a lifetime event.
Meeting Marian Anderson at Jimmy DePriest's house in South Philadelphia has always been a special life changing event in my life. Playing for Casals was unforgettable. Working with Lenny, meeting Diz and the others greats has been humbling.
I could go on for days about my blessings, please tell me yours.

Thanks for sharing O Wise One
First,I apologize for DAR's actions against Ms.Marian Anderson.
Secondly,I was blessed to have met most Jazz musicians from the late '50s period and the first time and place I met DIZZY is forever etched in my memory.
Other non-musicians (excluding all the hoopsters) of note that made a great contribution to this Nation and the World that I had the pleasure in meeting are:
Gen.Andrew Goodpaster
Charles Poor Kindleberger,NYC
Harry Rositzke and Joe Califano of Brooklyn,NY.
