This is to thank Jerry in San Francisco, Joel in the Canyon, Mol-lie and Manny in Brooklyn, and Jeff and Sammy in London for letting me live in their homes when I didn’t have one of my own. This is to acknowledge the folks who told the truth when you asked them a question.
Closer to home, I’d like to congratulate the Pacific Grove All-Stars and all their ladies for their on-the-court attitude and Don and Margo in particular, for theirs off. Finally, I’d like to thank Janice for keeping me dry through the wettest winter in eighty-three years.
“Music does not depend on being right, on having good taste and education and all that.”
“Indeed, then what does it depend on?”
“On making music, Herr Haller, on making music as well and as much as possible and with all the intensity of which one is capable. That is the point, Monsieur.”
