Eugene Haynes

Eugene Haynes career started in St. Louis as a boy at Stix, Bauer and Fuller where his Mom was a cleaning lady and Eugene would go upstairs and play the pianos on another floor. Mr. Stix heard him on day and the rest is history. My first memory of Eugene Haynes, was in 1963, when I would go into Richardson Auditorium at 5AM to practice before going on to two part time jobs and a full load at Lincoln. Eugene would already be there and I could hear him practicing his Rieimenschnider...

Peace be with you, Haynes Family.
We were proud to know that he was an person of major accomplishments from East St. Louis.

I had the honor of knowing him. He was a great influence to my father and uncle. My brother was named after him and is his god son. Heart felt sympathy goes out to you, he was a wonderful man, and I will never forget him.

I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE KNOWN EUGENE
PERSONALLY AS WELL AS HAVING THE HONOR
OF REVIEWING HIS NEW YORK PERFORMANCES.
