What a macabre, bizarre, & rare medical emergency. Hope you’re feeling better.

Can I ask what “terms-of-service rule” you allegedly broke?

And, yeah, that 2015 “Caravan” was jaunty. Nice counterpoint to news of Andre Watts’ death (just a couple neighborhoods east of mine).

Thank you, Liz. I read through their TOS agreement, and couldn't figure out what the issue was. They didn't explain.

Sorry to hear about Andre Watts. He would be a good choice for Soundings in the next issue...

It wasn’t just that he was a brilliant, historically eminent pianist & pedagogue with an amazing backstory (poor, Black kid in West Philly who practiced on a piano missing 14 strings). Watts was a generous, observant, & kind soul. What is that saying, “greatness is admired, but kindness remembered”? The local piano-teacher community misses him.
