Evenings on the Roof started on a real roof. It was the idea of a critic named Peter Yates and his wife, Concert Pianist Frances Mullen. The Yateses, who like chamber music, began inviting musician friends to their hilltop studio, to play strictly for fun. Word spread, musicians brought other musicians, and the Yateses soon had a full-fledged musicale on their hands. Nowadays, Evenings on the Roof is run by the musicians themselves.

Greenewalt, who used to play clarinet, cello and the piano, now likes to tootle on the basset horn. His restless mind ranges rapidly from hobby to hobby. To make model steam and gasoline engines he transformed one big downstairs room into a machine shop. He also grows orchids. To show the entire process of blooming, he once rigged up an electrically-controlled movie camera to photograph plants at 15-minute intervals...
