grand opera, to his association with other Afro-Americans and noted musicians,

TESTIMONIAL
"...Thank you for telling the story... The story is important and you are the only one
who could tell it--charm, wit, and the undeniable credibility of a person who lived it.
...There is so much to take away. ...Great people are born, much of their final
form already shaped, and then they're tested in the kiln of experience. Your father
certainly felt that heat, and instead of being hardened, emerged stronger, with
an amazing luster, a deep, reflecting finish, and capable of carrying so much.
...Thank you, again, for being with us and for spending so much quality
time with the CSO."
--Chattanooga Symphony & Opera
