Oscar Peterson

[Leslie Bartlett]

I always have had trouble finding the "melody" in that stuff
also............   but I listened in complete awe that those who were
performing knew every second where EVERYTHING was, and were able to put
their minds into "CREATE", and the incredible results had meaning in each
beat, each chord- even though I couldn't always follow it.  I have always
wondered what was wrong with me- because I coudn't approach magic like that.
But I have had a concert artist or two thank me for being able to pull a
unison in so that it would stay, and a few judges at competitions express
appreciation that I kept the piano so accurately tuned that their job became
pleasure instead of pain.   A great sadness came to me when the word was out
Mr. Peterson was gone.   A large chunk of VALUE has been lost to the planet-
and though I can't ever rise to such a level, I am grateful that I have
managed to help with a few of their instruments, thus being a small part of
bringing joy to many who are able to understand what I do not.  I have been
honored, even lacking much understanding, to have been a tiny part in the
success of some great keyboard artists. There is satisfaction in knowing a
single unison can make a contribution to things I don't fully
understand...................

Duaine,

            You bring Idiocy to a new level.

I've been on list for 10 years and your post is the most insulting
contribution I have yet seen.

            I can tolerate your woe is me crap and your chicken little
references to Microsoft, but you have reached all new levels now.

            Get off this list and do us all a favor.

You disgust me.

I listened to this all the way through. 

I never could get used to this form of jazz because WHERE THE HELL IS THE
MELODY ?

I really don't play BUT I could probably come up with something like he is
doing!

No offense to anyone who likes this form of jazz but being my teenage years
was the 60's and 70's, this sounds like something composed on cocaine or
pot.
