Tribute to Dr. Oscar Peterson

While living in Manhattan, Kansas I received television news on Christmas Day that Oscar Peterson, the great jazz pianist passed on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2007 in Canada..sad for the world of great musicians. I had last seen him in Indianapolis with Ella Fitzgerald some years ago. The news was very much unexpected as I had just spoken with someone about Oscar; was hoping to see him in concert "one more time"..... now in the heavenly courts.
