Dorothy is at the grand piano with the green cover I draped over it for St. Patrick's Day. To Dorothy's right I set up the Yamaha E433 keyboard, and I'm on a digital piano. I set up a 400 Watt ALTO speaker amp and micd both of us. The set-up was awkward but I liked to use the piano that the residence owned because it showed that we liked their gear too. ] This show was one of about two dozen we had in our repertoire... the St. Patty's Day Show... Dorothy knew the tunes by heart and I learned them through her although I had had a vague familiarity with many of them. She was totally on top of things. Here we see her only 10 years before her passing with a lot of energy and vigor in 2015 at 80. ... VERY difficult for me to grasp what 10 years can do from 80, here to 90. I used to look for 100+ or even 200. We're obviously not there yet. I saw Eubie Blake play in Buffalo at 93 in 1975 and I thought that by positive action and thought, we keep going, like Eubie. I got Dorothy playing out until Jan 2019 and teaching until March 2020 at 85. Pretty good all things considered. It's fun to reminisce here . Now I have to wonderhow long I will last!?
