His OCD paid off.
It must have been the mid-1970s. I attended a Segovia performance at Hancher Auditorium in Iowa City. As will happen in a hall of 2,700 people, someone had a cough. In the middle of his playing, Segovia stopped, rested his guitar, looked at the offender in the audience, slowly brought a handkerchief from his breast pocket, and caughed into it once. The audience laughed nervously. A few clapped. The offender jumped up, bustled past the knees of others in his row and hustled out the door. When he returned at intermission, I have to think he had his throat lozenges already unwrapped and ready. - Patrick Gillam To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
