And yes, I did saw away on the violin for a year ('72). Still remember the patient old man who tried to teach me, a Mr. (Professor to me) Schneewind (heavy, heavy German accent)who said he'd studied with Ysaye. He was very, very old and I met him because he also cut hair and, during that activity, I had favorably remarked on the music he played on the old phonograph. During our lessons, he would occasionally deign to entertain me by playing some difficult piece or other. He was impressive.He was full of music stories about Berlin, but I don't remember them, now.
I didn't inherit any musical talent from a parent who was a very good amateur and, realizing my time could be better spent on other pursuits, I desisted.
