May 4th, 2011 at 20:56Well deserved. Here’s a toast to you Jon.
May 4th, 2011 at 22:39The body of work that Dr. Lord has produced in the field of orchestral music more than justifies this honor.
This man knows as much about music as anyone who has had formal academic training, and his life as a performer on the road has provided practical experience that cannot be recreated in a classroom.
Congratulations to Jon Lord for this achievement.
