Smooth

Here's a rare photo: NMA Executive Vice-president Bob Leketa at the piano.

Reunion week is generally Bob's busiest time. You'll often see him flying up and down the hallways of a reunion venue,collaring the hotel staff, holding emergency meetings with event managers, "putting out fires," as he calls it.

This year, however, things are going smoothly. So smoothly that he's had a few opportunities to do what so many of us come here to do: play.

I just finish playing a set in the lounge with Bob on piano. It's not something we often get to hear, and surprise, surprise: he's good.

Who knew?
