8 March 2008 - 8:00Revere
Enough reliable old-timers have told me they witnessed such a scene that I figure there must be some truth to it. Some say Revere did this solely so that the student would have to pay for another lesson. One professional player who knew Revere disagrees. “He didn’t charge that much for lessons, especially considering his reputation. He was about as close to a legend as an author could beat that time. And he didn’t really need the money. I think he did this just to keep them on their toes, always thinking they weren’t yet perfect and had to improve. This pro feels that Revere took on students mainly because he enjoyed having company around he could tell his stories to.
