Yehudi couldn’t say No

Yehudi couldn’t say No

From the Times’s full-page obit of Zamira Menuhin:

Speaking of how Yehudi Menuhin’s desire to change the world never ended, she told how he was patron of more than 200 charities. “He just couldn’t say no,” she said. “He wanted everything, and he wanted it immediately. He was like a little boy somehow, but much of what he wanted was impossible.”

The post Yehudi couldn’t say No appeared first on Slippedisc.
