I may have posted this somewhere else earlier, if so, it bears repeating. John and I drove over to the Tulsa airport to pickup Joe Bowman who was flying into town in the company C-310 to join us at the contest. We arrived a little early and there was a grand piano in the FBO's lobby, something many FBO's don't have. John ambled over to it, seated himself comfortably, then played the livin' fool out of that thing! He was good, really good. He told me he was glad his parents made him continue his practicing when he was young.
After Joe arrived, John sat down with him and they started playing a little together, scales, finger exercises....Joe is one heck of a pilot.....
John was one heck of a pianist.
