[pianotech] Michael Drost Passing

[Alan Eder]

Hi John,


 Who in
the chapter has inverviewed Michael on video?

Thanks for posing this very pertinent question.  As many of you know, Rick Baldassin, Richard Davenport and I video taped a three hour interview with Norman Neblett.  Turned out that had we waited a mere three more months, we would have been left with no record at all of Norm in his own words.  A half-hour edit of that session will appear on the PTG website, the first of many to come (or so I am told).  If there is someone that you would like to be so honored, please bear in mind that without having the raw material in hand at the time of their passing, it won't happen.


Allow me to join those other voices in urging people to seriously consider making some sort of recorded tribute of senior members, particularly your mentors.  I am drafting an article for the Journal to help in the process.


Thanks,


Alan Eder
