now 86 years old and still
plays the piano beautifully. It
seemed a crime to me that his
skills hadn't been ap-
propriately captured on
records." ,
In deciding what numbers
to include, Mr. Feinstein goes
through a process of elimina-
tion. He records many songs,
plays them back and then
chooses the final pieces. He
likes to have selections from
four groups: big hits, familiar
songs, lesser-known works
and unpublished pieces.
"I hope to achieve a
balance," he said.
With all his travel and pro-
jects, Mr Feinstein finds
limited opportunity to pursue
personal interests.
"There isn't a whole lot of
free time on the road because
usually the time it takes to
travel, get settled in the next
city, handle business and look
after the necessities of life, in-
cluding making sure I eat
properly, can be quite a chore.
"I try to find a gym and
make sure I get a good
physical workout. Once in a
while I will have the oppor-
tunity to go out and see a bit
of the city, haunt used book
stores, find a used record store
or look for more treasures to
add to my collection. I have
not had the luxury of frivo
lous time."
A self-professed night owl,
he enjoyed late dinners at
Greektown while in Detroit,
and parties with his relatives.
"When we all get together,
we always have a good time
because everybody is at the
piano singing," his aunt said.
"It's a musical thing that
goes on all night long."
Mr. Feinstein resides on the
West Coast, which offers him
a variety of favorite activities.
"One of the nice things
about living in California is
the fact there are beaches and
mountains," he said. "I've
become more sports-minded
in the last several years, and
I'm interested in the out-
doors. I love parks and nature.
I also like the movies and
concerts.
"I am a romantic, and I like
to have romantic evenings
even though I'm not ready to
settle down yet. My life is too
nomadic for that. But I'm cer-
tainly moving closer to that
possibility."
Although it has been years
since Mr. Feinstein has
worked on the Gershwin ar-
chives, he has made two dona-
tions to the collection at the
Library of Congress in
Washington, D.C. — an
original contract from Porgy
and Bess signed by George
and Ira Gershwin and a four-
page pencil manuscript in
George Gershwin's hand.

He also is 80 percent finish-
ed with an album of un-
published Gershwin songs.
Mr. Feinstein wants to
bring music to young people.
He works with Queens Col-
lege in New York and Califor-
nia State University, Los
Angeles, where music
scholarships have been
established in his honor. He
also is working on an album

He calls himself
a music
conservationist.

for children, Pure Imagina-
tion, which should be out next
spring.
"The album is a real mix-
ture of different kinds of
things," he said. "I select the
material simply by imagining
some of the songs I liked to
listen to when I was a kid.
Some of the songs are by
classic composers. There are
Disney songs, and then
there's a song by Harold
Arlen and Yip Harburg call-
ed "The Jitterbug," which
was deleted from The Wizard
of Oz. They all have a child-
like quality for the track."
It sounds like fun.
