 Re: John Mack's health

I spent a couple of minutes reading all of the articles that have now been written in newspapers about Mr. Mack, while listening to his recording of the Mozart quartet. The second movement never seemed so beautiful and bitter-sweet to me as it does now.
I don't want this to be so maudlin so here is something that I came across that I thought was wonderful...

This is from his commencment speach given at the Cleveland Institute of Music-
"Art is a beacon and music happens to be our special beacon. (I wonder if there is a relationship between the words beacon and beckon?) Music most assuredly does sustain us, and beguile and nourish us. What kind of void would be in its absence? Not a pretty thought. So it falls to us to do what it is that we can do. Our contributions to the cause of music can take so many forms and go in so many directions."
