[ Ref. Frank Himpsl in 171224 MMDigest ]
Mr. Ganz was teaching piano in my neighborhood (Northwest side of
Chicago) in the late 1940s. My mother, who always sought quality,
took lessons from him for about a year. He must have been at least
a little expensive, because I was taking piano lessons at the same
time in the same school, but from one of the "regular" teachers.
(I think the school was "Chicago Musical College".)
