Three Wishes

Walter Davis Jr. got his request for three wishes from the Baroness and he gave the following answers:

  1. “Knowledge and wisdom, by which I mean complete mastery of myself and my instrument: mentally, physically, emotionally, and technically.”
  2. “Complete means to all ends. You see? I’ve covered everything in the world, subjectively and objectively, in one and two respectively.”
  3. “Complete identification – as a Yogi would mean.”
