God save him....
Louis Milton Teicher (August 24, 1924, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania - August 3, 2008, Highlands, North Carolina) was an American piano player, half of the duo Ferrante & Teicher.
Teicher died of heart failure at his summer home. He was 83.[1]
"No one was more blessed than I to have Lou Teicher as my best friend since we met at the Juilliard School of Music at the ages of 9 and 6. Although we were two individuals, at the twin pianos our brains worked as one. Lou was certainly one of the world's most gifted pianists. I will miss him dearly and as pianists it's ironic how we both ended up living on keys," his longtime partner Arthur Ferrante, who lived on Longboat Key, Florida, said in a statement at the time of Teicher's death. Ferrante subsequently died on September 19, 2009
last night as i lay on my pillow
last night as i lay in my bed
i stuck my feet out of the window
in the morning my neighbors were dead
