Though off topic from this posting, I wonder if you would be accepting of further recollections of Lynn and your days in New York? It appears that John Anderson is a mutual contact.

After the passage of c. 62 years I can no longer tell you who made Lynn Riggs' upright ("spinet") piano; I can however tell you that it did not come from a major maker - as I believe I mentioned, Lynn himself couldn't even read music, and I have no idea how he came to have one in his living room, merely as a piece of furniture. {This space denotes a second message from you, identifying Lynn as a close family relative of yours.} Incidentally, a professor at Boston's Emerson College also emailed me about that bit of bloggery: he does semi-dramatized lectures about authors who especially interest him, among them Lynn Riggs; would it interest you for me to put the two of you into contact? That would entail only minimal digging on my part.... My humblest apologies for your having to wait so long for a response - Xmas and all that, you know….

Cable upright? Have a Happy New Year, Gary Cundiff Mr. Moor,
