Doctors and Music
By Jim Cook
In digest 95.10.02, Dr. Gary Smith commented he was a doctor becoming involved in music through music boxes. In the same issue, JKeimer reviewed the QRS [Pianomation] CD for Claude Bolling's Suite for Flute and Piano.
It seems appropriate to note the irony here in that the flutist on this recording is Jean-Pierre Rampal. Many years ago, the television shows "60 Minutes" did a feature on Rampal. It is interesting to note that Rampal graduated as an M.D., but he chose being a flutist for a career.
On the other hand, in college I knew a girl from Western Mass. whose father, Dr. Mark Purinton, started out going to college as a musician. When that didn't work, he became a doctor.
Takes all types, I guess. :D
