[Harp-L] Miles

[Robert Bonfiglio <bon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When I first came to New York to study with Chamber Huang and go to 
Manhattan School of Music, I lived on 77th Street right next to Miles 
and used to talk to him in front of his brownstone.  One day his 
wrecked Lamborgini was in front of the house; he was going 160 on the 
Westside Highway.  To show Miles' pull in NYC, they left it sitting 
there with no tickets for weeks.

BTW, space is great, but speed kills.

Harmonically yours,

Robert Bonfiglio
