Hi All,

Funny story: I helped Mr. Kell at a performance when I was just a high school student!

As it so happened, the Reginald Kell Trio was touring the US in the early 1950s. One stop was in my home town of Sandusky, OH for a concert for the local music group, The Friends of Music.

The organization booked 4-6 concerts every year and Kell's trio was performing at my HS in about 1953-54. I was asked by one of my music teachers if I would like to be the stage person who would move the music stands for the players as needed.

I of course accepted, showed up in a suit, and met the players. It was pretty thrilling and I was able to carry out my duties quietly and professionally.
