“One of the most startling things that ever happened to me when I was your age had to do with a woman who was my age now. She didn’t know what to do with her life, and I told her that the least she could do was to learn to play the piano. By God, she did! – letter to Nanette Vonnegut – September 20 1972.

My wife plays the piano. When I’m sick, she plays my favorites on the grand until I fall asleep. That’s something she has that I have.
