Re: Oscar Peterson

We have a signed photo at work from Dr Peterson. He was a gentleman as well as a fine musician.

Re: Oscar Peterson

Always sad to lose an amazing artist, no matter what form of music they play. Music is a gift from the Gods expressed through human hands. We need more of them in this world!
