Suddenly, in our small town, Framingham, we were astounded to hear that a young man had won a prize in Russia, for his piano playing.   He was young  an unexpected winner!  We stopped listening to jazz, even stopped what we called the jitterbug, for a few minutes to learn about him and join in the wonder of his accomplishment! Maybe that is when I learned to love Rachmaninoff!
