Hey all, I just returned from a great evening with Franz Mohr who is visiting in town. A local dealer hosted a gathering where he discussed his years with the pianists he worked with and some of his experiences, (Horowitz, Rubinstein, etc). I read his book several years ago and it was great finally meeting him in person. The man has a wonderful since of humor and is full of life. He was so detailed and personal with us it was as if we were his family. He liked to talk about his traveling adventures. One of the highlights were his stories about working at the White House with Van Cliburn. Many of these stories are repeated in his book and I recommend it to any serious technician. Tomorrow he has invited all the local technicians to meet for some technical discussion; a chance to learn from a Jedi master. I'll fill ya'll in tomorrow about what he shares!
