"The Ballet With Encores," I consider to be an "Ode" to my parents' and their enduring love a story of their beautiful romance, inspired by and composed not too miraculously of their own verse. These extraordinary expressions of my parents' love for one another, with myself included, date from 1944, through to 2007. Their life-long passion is compelling, and is a declaration of love in its most positive sense it is a bond never broken between a man and a woman, a husband and wife, and their adoring daughter.
