Nine days from now I turn 70. Can't kid myself about the proportion of my life that's before me, as compared to the years behind. There's a lot more "life" in these wonderful creations, than there is in me, at least if you measure "life" in years.
Hope I've been a good steward of them; they've certainly given me much pleasure. Now, time to go caroling in my neighborhood...
Lovely sentiments, Alan. My instruments will all be left to my children, and I hope they will pass them on to theirs.
