This picture of Stan Ford (UCHS c/o 1975) was a fortuitous "get", like so many other pictures in this entire series. Stan is a concert pianist and distinguished professor for piano at The University Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria and has been there since 1986. He happened to be visiting his hometown and family while also giving a talk/performance for a friend at Harris-Stowe State University in the city of St. Louis when we heard that he was in town. We'd heard about him for years and hadn't yet had the chance to make any documentary related trips to see people that could be involved in the project in Europe. So we went to the university and had a great time talking to him about his performances around the world, appearances on TV, his start with music in the Baptist Church of Holy Communion on Hanley near Olive in U. City, his father being a dean in the early days of Forest Park Community College, and many other topics. We captured one song that he did play at his presentation to a class on video, but we hope to see him perform in other locations around the world in the future.
