Re: [Harp-L] Re: Lee Oskar

[Joe and Cass Leone <leone@xxxxxxxx>]

I'll talk about him. When Oscar Levinson came to this country, he  
nearly starved and wasn't too proud to find a meal anywhere he could  
(key word her is ANYWHERE). He never forgot his humble beginnings and  
has absolutely no ego whatsoever. Just a wonderful soul, and a very  
distinctly different player.
