[Dixielandjazz] Oscar Peterson gone at age 82

[Hal Vickery]

I just saw this on a message board (on a Chicago White Sox fan site oddly
enough) and responded there.  I liked some pianists more than I liked
Peterson, but as a really bad amateur pianist, I've always marveled at his
technique.  He could *play*, and I'm saddened that he is no longer with us.
