Beginning at age 98, appeared annually for three years on ``A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor'' playing piano and reciting his poetry.

From one of his poems ``A Toast'' The past is fairy tales. The future dreams. The music of the moment/Is the only Truth. Enjoy it to the fullest! Here is to life which, As the bubbles in this glass, Forever newly rises. Drink deep and often. More, much more to come!
