The Accompanist
Glenn's friend Cheryl Opsal sent Glenn this poem and wrote, "This was in our Sunday paper - made me think of you!"
The Accompanist
I've always worried about you - the man or woman
at the piano bench,
night after night receiving only such applause
as the singer allows: a warm hand please,
for my accompanist. At concerts,
as I watch your fingers on the keys,
and how swiftly, how excellently
you turn sheet music pages,
track the singer's notes, cover the singer's flaws,
I worry about whole lifetimes,
most lifetimes
lived in the shadows of reflected fame;
but then the singer's voice dies
and there are just your last piano notes,
not resentfult at all,
carrying us to the end, into those heartfelt cheers
that spring up in little patches from a thrilled audience
like sudden wildflowers bobbing in a rain
of steady clapping. And I'm on my feet, also,
clapping and cheering for the singer, yes,
but, I think, partially likewise for you
half-turned toward us, balanced on your black bench,
modest, utterly well-rehearsed,
still playing the part you've made yours.
- Dick Allen
Music at Glenn's house
Glenn will be hosting his weekly music night at his Spirit Lake house, beginning Tues., June 8 at 7:00 pm. Refreshments are served, and a free-will collection is taken to offset the costs of the evening. All are welcome!
Glenn on the mend
While on a run in Phoenix in February, Glenn stumbled on the mountain trail and dislocated his right-hand ring finger. He is receiving physical therapy and is on the mend, although it will be a slow process. He also had an emergency appendectomy in February and is healing well from that surgery. Glenn is doing well and is resuming his concert schedule, and he wants to thank everyone for their thoughts and well wishes.
