Unlike Bob Dylan, I neither disdain nor dismiss the honor of receiving an award. Although, as many of you know, the reward for making music is simply the joy, the indescribable pleasure of making music – for yourself and for others.
I hadn’t think of myself as old enough to receive a “lifetime achievement” award. Until now, I guess. I look at the list of past recipients and I see my teachers, Eliot Forbes, Daniel Pinkham and Lorna Cook DeVaron. And many other very distinguished colleagues. I’m flattered to be in their company.
