  The sweet and talented boy is Rabbi Jacobson's son Mendel---who was just recently Bar Mitzvahed!
  
  What a delightful addition!

  Dear Mendel(i),
  
  Your début as an accompanist is astonishing and deserve a storm of applause! More than two hours without any sign of exertion is not so simple thing even for prominent pianists but you did it!
  
   What I want you to do is just imagine you are accompanying a respectful old rabbi from Poltava and holding his hand on his journey to a shule or any other place. As a young vigorous boy you can reach that place in few jumps and we admire you for that, brachot! but behold, the old fragile rabbi’s hand is in your hand and his pace is very slow and he is short of breath while talking to you on the way. What would you do? Would you give him a chance to tell you his story? Would you try to listen to his Yiddish talk? Would you pay respect to his age? Though it is not easy for you but please, when you play his Negaunee hear what your Dad says: try the best to SLOW DOWN! and listen how beautiful is the music that you play.
