'Heifetz As I knew Him' by Ayke Agus

November 25, 2006 at 3:21 AM

A funny thing happened at Thanksgiving last night. I was invited to have turkey with my upstairs neighbors. They are married and are both professional musicians. One's a professional violinist, and the other is a French horn player. Anyhow, I was scanning the books on their bookshelf and saw a copy of "Heifetz As I knew him" by Ayke Agus. I told them that I read the book over the summer (based on the recommendation of a Violinist.com member). And they then told me that they know her. My neighbors have actually started their own chamber orchestra and Ayke Agus is a member! Small world!

This was almost as cool as my meeting a member of the Guarneri String quartet at my church!

You live in New York City. You can expect stuff like that. You must have recently moved there.
NYC is just great isn't it?
Hey Jim,
Actually NYC born and bred. It's just that I get out more these days.
Wow, I'm impressed and envious!
