As lovers of music, 'We're brothers' - Los Angeles Times

As lovers of music, 'We're brothers' - Los Angeles Times

Great story. I've been following the "adventures" of Nathaniel the classical musician/homeless guy in Steve Lopez's columns for a long time. In today's column linked here, Lopez summarizes Nathaniel's story, writes about his future, and describes a meeting Nathaniel recently had with his once Julliard classmate (yes) Yo Yo Ma while they were all at Disney Hall. Yo Yo let Nathaniel play his cello, too. Apparently Lopez almost had to drag Nathaniel out of Disney Hall - he didn't want to leave. He was at home.

The title is about what Ma said about Nathaniel - how since both of them were such avid lovers of music they were like brothers.
