A great rendition. I'm the niece of Walter Gross, who wrote the music. FYI, he had no middle name. Wikipedia was wrong (I corrected it.) "Walter Lloyd Gross" is on a list at the Library of Congress; he puclished two books on shorthand transcription. Uncle Walter used the middle initial "K" ; K stood for "Kalish," his birth father's name. His mother's 2nd husband, William Gross, adopted him; hence the name Walter Gross.

Thanks for providing clarification on how to correctly reference Walter Gross.

Hi -- Thanks for your e-mail. You mean WALTER Gross; William was his step-father.

Eugene Martin's work is a revelation and an affirmation to me, and I am thoroughly impressed by what he created. Thanks to all who helped present it to the world, so more of us can now appreciate it with you :-)
