"Chess, like love, like music has the power to make men happy" - Siegbert Tarrasch -  Most chess websites don't include music, but this one does! For those of you who have inquired, Carl Fuerstman is my 55 year old brother who works as a professional musician in St. Pete. Joe "Firstman," 30, pictured here, is my middle son who changed the spelling of his name. For 2 years he was the music director for "Last Call with Carson Daly" on NBC. He recorded on Atlantic Records, lives in LA and currently tours, writes and records music. Scroll down to the bottom of the website page and listen to his music! By the way, the lyrics for "Tin Cans & Tear Drops" were written by Bernie Taupin who wrote all of the Elton John Hits! - It works best on "Windows Media Player." Enjoy! LF
