Joe had an incisive wit, sly humor, an immense compendium of musical knowledge, and an honest love of music evinced in his plethora of written works, lectures, and his exquisitely sensitive piano playing. I have been blessed and privileged to work with and know this kind, gentle and humble man. I miss you,Joe!
