Ed Adams Touches The Stars - Paperback

by Art Myers (Author)

Ed Adams, with his wife Julia, was working his way through the donor's party following his being the featured pianist with the Los

Angeles Philharmonic opener for the 2022 season. Congratulations and kudos were being accepted by Ed for his exceptionally fine playing of Rachmaninoff's Concerto Number 2 and the very difficult Concerto Number 3.
He spotted a piano in one corner of the room and steered Julia in that direction seeking some space to take a break from the admiring attendees. Next to the piano was an elderly lady, in a wheelchair, seeming to be asleep. Julia knelt down to clasp her hands just as her eyes opened. Seeing Ed she said, "Edward Adams, my goodness you can certainly play Rachmaninoff. I knew him, you know."
Robert Johnson and Sandra Williams were trying to get close enough to Ed to introduce themselves and just behind them stood a short man who was discretely observing this activity. The three waiting could clearly hear what Wilma Herman had just said and it was this that set-in motion what was to become a great adventure for all of them and would result in extraordinary gifts to the lovers of classical music.
The short man, known only as John, with five partners had developed the means to travel back in time. Robert Johnson had been their first traveler and one of his trips had been to visit Rachmaninoff shortly before his death in 1943.
It was this connection and Wilma saying, "I knew him, you know." that had John ready to plan and execute the next trip back in time. Ed Adams Touches The Stars tells the story of this trip and also of family, love, friendship, talent and respect that made it possible.^
