THE OTHER EARL

Earl Wild, Pianist, Dies at 94

And he was out as a gay man all his career and he lived in Palm Springs and he lived to be 94.

He was great fun to hear on a talk/play format. Witty and engaging.

He and his partner have 38 years together.

Wild played over a wide range of popular and classical work.

He was 30 years older than me so he has been around all of my life and in my musical experience.

I love to see the photos from when they were just coming into their own.
