I used to deliver her mail in the late 80's. Her house was around the corner from Eric Bloom's (Blue Oyster Cult).

I was introduced to Ms McPartland's piano wizardly listening to NPR. I tried desperately not to miss her performances. I decided that she was one of my favorite pianists and I have know quite a few. Tuned a few of those pianists pianos. It was an amazing privilege.
