GG: Sherman Clay
A question for the Japanese translation of the GG Letters.
The one to Winston Fitzgerald
dated February 17, 1960 (GGL, pp.29-30):
GG wanted to use a Stainway, "No.122" for the
next concert in Los Angeles.
". . . Your might in any case, as a safety measure,
remind Sherman Clay in San Francisco that I
reserved No.122(?) for the Los Angeles recital
on March 23. In all probability I will not cancel
all the concerts at once, probably the first two weeks
of the month and then I see what happens so that
Sherman Clay should still continue to hold the
reservation for me. . . ."
I found Sherman Clay still exists in San Francisco.
I found its site:
http://www.citysearch7.com/E/V/SFOCA/0000/00/28/1.html
According to the site, "Sherman Clay is the oldest and largest
piano dealership in the West." Is it true? No exaggeration?
Was it the case in 1960 too?
May I mention it as it is in the footnotes?
