- Hmm... Although I'd heard of Gold and Fizdale, and knew of them as "a
- well known piano duo", I had never realized they were a couple.

- Well, I've been thinking about it. But it doesn't look like I'm going
- to have time to do it justice :-) before the New Year.

- The original poster (I've long since lost the article) wanted, I
- believe, not only longevity statistics but some explanation of *why*
- the relationship lasted. The short answer is, I don't really know why,
- it just seems to be something that happened. When I have a little more
- time I might be able to explain this a little better.
-
- Oh, and the short answer to J.T.'s parenthetical question is that we
- met at a job interview. He hired me. :-)
