i was ask to write an article for the NYCGS "who was your most influential teacher" a few years back. One of my teachers during the late 60s and early 70s was Richard Lurie a true eccentric: here is a portion of that article:
I studied with Dick Lurie off and on from 1964 to 1972. Towards the end of
my tenure with Dick we had become good friends. I was getting ready to move
to New York City in an effort to further my career and live the life of a
professional musician. I remember Dick saying, "Just because you like to do
something is not a reason to try to make a living at it." I looked at Dick
quizzically. He looked back at me, "You like sex, right?" I gulped and said
yes. He said, "Well, it might not be such a good idea to make a living at
it." That was Dick, invariably cutting to the core with his own unique
eccentricity.
