From: Noam Chomsky c Sent: Sunday, December 6, 2015 5:08 AM To: effrer E. Cc: Subject: 1 I was a hit at the jazz concert with my elegant new =weater this evening. Wearing it even helped, I think, to move me a f=w steps towards the day when I'll be able to distinguish one piece f=om another. Special concert for us. One trombone player is=a close friend, Jay Keyser. He had a terrible fall a year ago, was a=most completely paralyzed, told he would never be able to use his hands, l=t alone walk. With fantastic determination he fought his way out of it. Now back to playing trombone in his jazz grou= (Aardvark). Can type. Walks with a walker a mile a day by him=elf. A real mirade. He's regularly invited to medical g=oups to lecture on how he did it. So watching him play was a mehaye (as they used to say in Coney Island). Valeria will send a picture all of us on the stage &=8211; me in my resplendent garb. Very interesting afternoon, though I still think that Gromov is on the wron= track. Time will tell.
