Renaissance man extraordinaire are you. The Seattle Symphony offerings are impressive. Did you attend the Mozart Requiem?

I have bought tickets twice and had to give them away because of conflicts that arose. They do it every year and I will go next year by God.

Next time you have tickets you can't use, I would REALLY appreciate a heads up...

I don't follow classical music, but when I was in college my girlfriend's little brother was a child prodigy as a pianist. He was 14 at the time and had already placed in several international piano competitions. I've always wondered if he ever made a name for himself. His name is Kevin Kenner. He used to idolize Arthur Rubenstein, and said that's who he wanted to be when he grew up. Did Kevin ever make a dent in the music world?

That's him, though the last time I saw him he was 14. I remember the first time I went to their house, they had two full grand Steinways, side by side -- one for Kevin and one for his instructor. Kevin was only allowed to play classical music and that's all he listened to. One day I bought him an Emerson Lake and Palmer album, because he knew nothing about Rock and I knew that Keith Emerson was classically trained. I figured Kevin would enjoy it. We listened to the album together, and instead of simply enjoying the music, Kevin kept analyzing the piano work. He would say stuff like, "Now, that's very interesting. What he's doing there is actually quite difficult..." He would then go into detail about the mechanics of the piece we were listening to, breaking it down note by note. I had no idea what he was talking about, but I knew the kid was brilliant.

By golly he did make a dent:

I haven't heard him, but it appears he is an exceptional musician. And music is a tough business wherein to make a dent.
