Damn. Thanks for letting us know. She could be prickly, but what a gift her radio series was, along with her music.
Loved her PIANO JAZZ programs. And I liked her prickly disposition! Nothing bland about Marian McPartland!
Well, it was less unpleasant when it was turned against others than one's self, George. I think I will remember our one meeting for some time yet.
