Comparing notes with a new harpsichord client, we discovered a common friend in Doug, with whom he had worked at Pomona. I pulled out the LPs, then scores, and a casette of vocal works Doug had compiled. My first cembalo commission was for Douglas - and the loaner while he waited prompted his reimmersion into keyboard, given its flexible intonation. Douglas Leedy's influence will emerge again later today, when I give a first tuning lesson to a violinist with her first harpsichord. <br />David Calhounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459958192695415190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13593902.post-44097538383201227182015-11-29T23:50:47.187-08:002015-11-29T23:50:47.187-08:00Fantastic tribute.

And it is by losing such blessings that we come to understand and appreciate them better. <br /><br />What you say about the belief in explanations, in the face of increasing absence of explanations, is profound; I will think about that for quite a while.<br /><br />Thank you for your loyal reading, and you occasional response. It means a lot to me.</i>Charles Sherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480432901356490235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13593902.post-20547373170120059402015-04-01T23:21:41.896-07:002015-04-01T23:21:41.896-07:00Such a beautiful tribute to someone you were bless...Such a beautiful tribute to someone you were blessed by knowing. I have a friend going through the same disease now. We live in a world, it seems to me, that believes in explanations, yet more and more of our circumstances defy explanation.louannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967764775123042458noreply@blogger.com
