Eddie Kenny: Ladies and gentlemen... Once in each man's lifetime there comes a supreme moment. For me, here and now, this is it. Not only because of the generous way in which you have received my symphony, but because I can share this moment with one whose contribution to this music is far greater than any that I could have made. I am speaking of and to my brother. He truly inspired the music that you have heard tonight. For in his life story was a story of the great city as I felt it in terms of music. No, he's not a musician. He couldn't read a single note, but in his heart and soul there was such wealth of music. Music of the city. The music that led him on to glory, to conquest, to tragedy and defeat. But in that very defeat, he conquered. For of all the men that I have come to know, who have loved and lost, this boy retained a great nobility that far surpassed any possible conquest. Yes, my brother made music with his fists so that I might make a gentler music the symphony that you have heard tonight. It is his as much as mine. And so, with deep pride and gratitude, I dedicate this music to my brother, known to most of you, as Young Samson
