As you listened to your local radio station play the Barber Adagio,
could you but weep for the memory of this man who gave so much, and
still had much to give.

He will be missed. I personally will always regret having never had the
opportunity to attend a performance that he conducted. His compositions,
conducting, and enthusiasm for music served as an inspiration to me, as
I'm sure they did to many others. One can only be happy for him that he
did not suffer with his infirmity for long.

I attended one of his concerts at Tanglewood on the fourth of July.  I
was twelve.  My brothers were 10 and 6.  We were mad that we couldn't
see fireworks and talked through the whole thing.  Funny, we couldn't
understand why everyone was telling us to be quiet.  After all, it was
only some dumb old concert for a buncha people out on a lawn.  All I
really remember of the performance is that Tanglewood had very good
box lunches.  So much for missed opportunities.
