I have said for years that the pianist with the fastest hands I've ever heard was the legendary Oscar Peterson.
I was reminded of that again this morning when a newsletter I receive from the Washington Post included a link to this extraordinary performance in Denmark in 1964.

For those of you concerned about the Crooks Fire burning in the Prescott National Forest south of here, it's grown to 2,000 acres and the firefighters are concerned about high winds again today and tomorrow.
Keep them in your thoughts.
There have been some evacuations but I don't believe any homes have been burned yet.
The Tunnel Fire near Flagstaff, about 80 miles north of here, however has claimed a number of homes outside of the city.
It is early with a long fire season ahead.
