RIP

The ever-agreeable Robert Sherman, a presenter on WQXR for 60 years, has spun his last disc.

The son of  pianist Nadia Reisenberg, Bob Sherman was also a critic on the NY Times, teacher at Juilliard and moderator for many concert organizations.

UPDATE: Jock Rockwell reminds us that, while reviewing folk music in Greenwich Village for the Times in the early 60s, Sherman could lay legitimate claim to have discovered Bob Dylan.
