Ii Runs Through

| was invited to meet Johara
Harris and being unsteady litter
ate | wondered how the great
pianist could endure even a few
minutes with me.
& oh that | could take the wealth
of the indies with me-" | thought
as crossed my neighbours lawn.
Il don't know enough to ask one
question
& At that moment | passed a play
pen in which sat an adorable blue
eyed golden curly haired, full
checked ten months old girl that
j could hardly resist taking in my
arms. a twelve-year-old sat nearby
reading book called Going
Steady"
Then | realized | wouldn't need
the wealth of the Indies for Mrs
Harris had it and she would be able
to talk my language even if |
couldn't speak hers.
A woman of strong warm per-
sonality and unusual fine beauty
not the glamorouS type that | had
pictured-much too genteel for
that-and extremely human.
johanna Harris got down to me
with as much grace and skill as a
trans-continental plane takes the
runway. l tell you frankly l was
as thrilled as if | had been talking
TO Ann Lindbergh Now | can hard
ly wait to hear her concert.
Still | can't comprehend her
greatness. Even when | know she
has just finished one of the most
extraordinary recordings for Metro

tionally, already heard by sixteen
million. of all Mozart's and Bee

What an experience" She re-
lated There would be times that
we would play frantically for four
hours and bingo-a board would
creak, a string break, a plane fly
over, or some foreign sound might
be recorded. Then it would have
to be done over Rarely can tape
making this type recording be
spliced."

she will have the same warm feel
