Me and two former high school buds had a power trio that did a lot more rehearsing than playing. We rehearsed in the basement of the drummer's house which was right next door to - you guessed it - Van Cliburn.
(Yes, the drummer is doing quite well, thank you.)
We always joked that Van must be gritting his teeth but we never heard a thing from him.
Interesting feller. I met him lots of times and was in the Orchestra for the Van Cliburn competition. I saw him MANY times at 1 am at Albertsons on Camp Bowie. He kept the same hours as me. One time he was in there at 1 and was buying all the flowers in the store.
