Baby-piano visits bid by doctor
NZPA-Reuter Los Angeles A Los Angeles heart specialist in a divorce battle has asked for visiting rights to his two baby grand pianos.
“It would break the heart of Dr Newton Friedman not to be able to practise,” said his lawyer, Marvin Mitchelson, who filed the visiting rights request with the Ventura Superior Court. Dr Friedman wanted to play his pianos, a Steinway and a Bosendorfer, for four hours twice a week at the home of his estranged wife, Carol.
Dr Friedman said he had been living in hotels since he and his wife separated three months ago after a 12-year childless marriage, and had no place to practise. “The pianos have not expressed any interest in being visited by the doctor,” Mrs Friedman’s laywer, Hannah Beth Jackson, said wryly. “Although they are baby grands, we feel they are old enough to speak for themselves.”
