A friend of mine, a lifetime player and instructor of clarinet is in intensive care at a local hospital. Music and the clarinet, plus other instruments, have been his life. The other night, after a rehearsal that he conducted, things didn’t go well. The band thought that a new direction might be needed. I am positive that my friend grieved over this situation.
A year ago his wife died, and life became difficult for him without her love and support.
The day after the difficult rehearsal, his housekeeper found him unconscious at the bottom of the basement stairs with his beloved clarinet close at hand.
He is now in the intensive care unit of a local hospital. Rumor is that he fractured his skull and his brain is suffering a hemorrhage.
My friend was a student of Portnoy. He lent his talents to many local musical organizations. To put it mildly, music was his life. May our hopes and prayers be with him and his family at this time.
