Seiji Ozawa: From moped to maestro

This guy is fantastic, I hope he overcomes his health problems and continues to perform for many more years to come.

In case you missed it, he had a gig on Sesame Street:

When he lived in Boston whilst conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra he often ate at a hole-in-the-wall noodle shop.

Great pix of him, tho he is now showing his age.

I remember he used to be fuzzier.
