I never met Mr. Izin, but his rendition of 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' remains in heavy rotation at my home, 48 years after my Mom first placed it on the turntable. Yesterday I heard his distinctive voice on Amazon, narrating a long story. I thank him for his talents and willingness to share them. God bless his soul, and peace to his family. Greatest thanks, and deepest condolences.
