Rabin, Michael. (1936–1972)

Original Photograph Performing on Pan Am Flight!

Original photograph of the great fiddler performing for two child fans on board a Pan Am flight. 8 x 10 inches, in very fine condition. This photograph dates from 1956 and is reproduced in Anthony Feinstein's "Michael Rabin: America's Virtuoso Violinist."



During one of Rabin's marathon tours around this time, he wrote in a letter: "I am much more at ease this time than on any previous tour of Europe, but everywhere I see huge posters advertising that the quickest way to New York is via the Pan American Boeing 707 jet! Goddam it, I know this only too well, and every time I see one of those posters, I do feel lousy." (As quoted in Feinstein, p. 156) (3825)
