These are videos are great to play while I’m studying my next chess move. I will have to look for some extended audio to listen to while playing chess.

My grandmother was married to your uncle Morris, or as we called him Pop. I met your father once, but knew your Uncle Lynn more that anyone. I loved listening to him play boogey woogey for me when he would come to our house. You had a wonderful family and I am glad that my grandmother was part of it. Her name was Eleanor.

Years ago you were giving a master class at Music Dept. of Az. State Univ. You suggested for interpretive purposes that the
student perform a particular passage as tho he had just learned the person he loved was gay. That was before people began
coming out in the numbers they do today and there wasn’t a peep after you said it. However, I’ve never forgotten your remark
and quote you from time to time. It sure does get the meaning across! After the class we met at Taki Atsumi’s home, I believe
but nobody ‘came out’ so it was not nearly as eventful as your master class!
Such a stunning portfolio and I love the way you put a little humour in it, just to show that not all gifted forget who they were and are today. Thank you for your beautiful music.

Just now I was chatting with Don Larson of Seattle, and he suggested I listen to this Sicilienne, as he would like me to accompany him. It is so lovely to watch you play so effortlessly (seemingly). I also saw and heard you play the Elgar concerto in Bellingham last summer. From way back at the top of the seating, but it was wonderful. Don Larson speaks highly of you, and has been teaching me, as learning to play the cello is one of my new activities (along with trying to remember how to play the piano) now that I have retired. Thank you so much for this website, and for sharing your music in other ways. I so love the cello!

I couldn’t concentrate if I listened ! But it is a remarkable thing: chess and music!
