From your words, I can see that Moomump was larger than life, an extraordinary woman who accomplished so much before women were "supposed" to be so accomplished. Fascinating tales from the real world I've never known!

(You and I are third cousins on the Schwab side) I loved reading about "Moonmump". What an amazing woman. What an interesting life. Your writing is such a great tribute to her. I would love to be in touch with you to share some of my research.

I enjoyed reading every bit that you shared about her life, and your part in it.<BR/><BR/>Are there any recordings of her during any of her public speeches?

It seems that Portland is an important city. I'd love to learn more about how and where it led in different directions than the East Coast/NYC centric and the Pittsburgh/Cleveland/Chicago arts scene.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll riff off the mention of Kitty Carlisle Hart and post about the time I cared for her voice coach....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-5802293894801215132008-04-30T11:29:00.000-07:002008-04-30T11:29:00.000-07:00Wonderful story!

The person who offered to tutor her in NYC is the name I can't dredge up. For some reason, I feel it was one who also had a son who was either a pianist or another musician... I tried searching under those terms and came up with nothing. I think I'd remember the name if I were to hear it. But it's a small part of the story, since it never happened.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-26913777810118576082008-04-30T09:51:00.000-07:002008-04-30T09:51:00.000-07:00Amazing, amazing story for an even more amazing wo...Amazing, amazing story for an even more amazing woman...thanks so much for sharing. (BTW, I'm 99.9% positive that the pianist she was referencing was <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Lh%C3%A9vinne" REL="nofollow">Josef Lhévinne</A>, husband of <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosina_Lh%C3%A9vinne" REL="nofollow">Rosina Lhévinne</A> who was Van Cliburn's instructor after his mother)<BR/><BR/>I would have loved to meet any of the musicians listed, but alas, other than Cliburn, all were before my time. I, like many Houstonians, have met Clyde Drexler's mother and eaten at their family's amazing BBQ restaurant (and I did so before Clyde came back to Houston and revived the joint after the 1995 NBA championship).<BR/><BR/>"Moomump" was certainly one in a million, but of you two being related I would have no doubt. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
