       | I remember attending one of his concerts, arriving a little late,
       | and I stepped into the concert hall, walked a bit down the aisle
       | to a seat, and less than a minute behind me the door opened again
       | and another man - must have been PDQ, can't quite remember now -
       | tore down the aisle, leap on stage, and played the final chord of
       | the piece, a comic touch characteristic of his work.
