american-musician great later music pervasive public schools strong struck
Later in the public schools of Philadelphia, where I was born, music was a very strong pervasive element, which struck me with great force.
grateful humility pride
With sincere modesty, if there is such a thing, I have never thought of legacy at all. I am always grateful if people like what I have done. A legacy is something no one can forsee.
numbers discipline people
I have a great interest in a number of things, perhaps too many. I admire people who seem to concentrate on only one fixed discipline to the exclusion of almost everything else.
senior jobs college
I met my wife in Washington, D.C. I was a senior in college. WW II was about to descend upon us. Jobs were starting to open up after a prolonged depression.
lonely sound negative
Most performers don't admit this, because it sounds negative and performers are not supposed to be negative, but when I was on the road, I was lonely.
american-musician ended full time
I ended up performing on a full time basis and I never got to Julliard at all.
