My life has been blessed with fortunate (frequently free admission) performances. I could probably name a dozen recognizable groups and locations.

However, in retrospect, reflecting back on the LafKat's thread.....

Arthur Rubinstein

My parents attended, and I attended with my beloved piano teacher. (By this point, I had, gone through five keyboard instructors - this one - her husband, son and family were the only I could term "beloved."

WHAT A PERFORMANCE - and to have Mr.Rubinstein - use as the end of encores - a simple piece we had been practicing for a month - was ecstacy!!!

Sincerely,
