This is very sad news. Floyd is correct. He was one of the nicest, most =

Mitchell Lurie was one of the best musicians and nicest gentleman I've =
ever
had any dealings with. I had a few lessons with him in 1983 as part of a
sabbatical and he was kind enough to allow me to observe him teach for =
about
a week including some chamber music coaching.
Later, I referred some of my students from Australia to him, and he was so
generous with his time that he would meet them at LAX and in one case, =
find
them a billet while they were in LA.
He'll be greatly missed.
