Interview of the proud father and his proud daughter in The Ithaca Times

Thanks for the news, brownie. Dick's one of my all-time musical heroes!

Rock - quite possibly. But "and roll"? Doubtful ... (Yes I know you were just quoting what the website said ;))

Don't know what the Horse Flies are exactly but certainly not "rock and roll" in the actual sense of the word, judging by their Youtube clips ...

"Progressive Bluegrass", maybe? Cowpunk? Dunno ... But certainly fun.

Good to see, though, Dick Hyman is still so very active.

Whatever it is, Dick should be able to handle it quite nicely.

I think Dick Hyman is one of the best all-around musicians I’ve ever heard.

But...?!? “As a lifelong jazz aficionado, I knew who Dick Hyman was. Dick Hyman is a jazz giant. On a level with, say, Duke Ellington or Louis Armstrong.”

Hyperbole defined.

from the early 80s, i had a tape of dick playing spirituals on the organ of the church of st. john the divine in nyc. it remains some of the most gorgeous and moving music i have ever heard. i can't find it anywhere.
