I had the wonderful privilege of studying voice with William Warfield in 1980 at the University of Illinois. I was an accompanying major and played for many of Warfield's students. Also attended many of Uncle Bill's after-concert receptions at his house where he served up great potato salad, finger foods, sweet-potato pie, etc. I also had the privilege of playing Old Man River for him for a local TV production here in Urban, Illinois. He was a wonder man and fabulous talent.

Stay tuned folks. If I can find a decent video capture card, I might be able to get actual video's online of Mr. Warfield in concert, a few years before he passed away.

I met him too. Weird to say this, but he was probably one of the best people I ever met. I loved his jokes, too.

What a treasure Mr. Warfield was. Luckily, I got to meet the gentleman and benefit from his music workshops before he passed away. He always had the funniest anecdotes about his many experiences. Thanks for posting. I'm sure that's a pretty rare record these days.
