Here's the post from Dan Leeson on Richard Stoltzman streaking. Besides
the riot factor I knew I'd need it for something.

Enjoy,

-Pete

Oh, it's true all right. He was wearing his beard at the time but
nothing

else. It took place in Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium in NYC which is

just about as prestigious a place as you can play in. He had played the

Brahms quintet and then, after intermission when the audience was seated

and the quartet was about to begin the first Bartok string quartet,

zingo, in came Richard, bareass as a jaybird. It was the thing to do
then,

and I have no idea why he did it. Perhaps he did not need a reason.

I have heard two stories about the actual entrace: one that he came in
from

the back and streaked to the front, jumped on the stage and ran into the

wings tush last. The other that he came from the stage and ran to the

back of GRR auditorium with his winkie in full view on the New York

cognoscenti. They say that there was some cheering.

He was not hired in NY after that for a number of months, which was awful

because he was the best free-lancer around. He lost several festivals.

But he was so good (and it was so funny) that eventually everyone forgot

about it except those who saw his winkie in its totality. Some say it

had keys on it!!
