Mela Tenenbaum update

I noticed that people have been visiting a post that I made about the violinist/violist Mela Tenenbaum in February of 2021, and a quick google search found that she died very, very recently. She was buried this morning at the Beth Moses Cemetary in West Babylon, New York.

Mela was a great musician and a great and generous human being. I feel so honored to have been phone friends with her during my days at the radio station. We suddenly lost touch in the early 2000s, and I was unable to find anything about her again until February of 2021. And now today I find out that she is no longer alive.

Her memory will always be a blessing for me.

Here she is playing the Drigo Serenade:
