I drove / escorted Ahmad around Grand Rapids when he performed in 89 or 90. As a musician rep for the company, tested every Steinway in St Cecelia's. Not tremendously personable but excellent performer.

What do you mean when you say not tremendously personable?

I would define him as a bit terse to his musicians, our station team and the hosts at St Cecilia's. I don't believe he made himself available to any of the attendees as is customary.

My wife is a friend of his wife (now widow) and she confirmed to me that he does get short with people on the road.

He actually is one of the hold outs of his era.

I remember when the last musician in this photo died...
