My friend Bill plays good music - L.V. Beethoven ~ Frederick Chopin and not that age counts or means anything, but he is going on 96 years old.He's also very sharp and quite aware of what's going on in the world as much as anyone. He's said things to me that have really resonated such as trying to find pleasure in what you do and to avoid having your life become complicated. "Some people's lives are so complicated."He has greatest admiration for Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Handel, Schubert, Brahms. He said if Mozart had lived longer he would have busted open the heavens. He also admires the music of Cole Porter and Fats Waller.His favorite live pianists are Sergei Rachmaninoff and Brasilian pianist Guiomar Novaes both of whom he got to see and hear perform live. Here he is playing a 9 foot Steinway concert D piano.
