What struck me from the article was that Lewis was taking lessons from a lady at the Chicago Synphony Orchestra. Then, he was working 1-6 hours a day on incorporating her techniques into his music. Now, this is a 71 year old man who has been playing music for more than 65 years, who has 3 Grammy awards, and...
