Excerpt from In Memory of Bert Leston Taylor (B. L. T.): Program and Records of a Public Meeting Held in the Blackstone Theatre, March 27, 1921
For years he was fascinated with the name Saskatchewan. He used to speak it aloud that others might sense its charm. He knew the region well, and planned many long trips there since he was convinced that any land which had gained for itself such a name must be of wondrous charm.
His eyes were ever turning towards the north, to the cool silences of the woods, for there was in his nature a something Shy,aloof, that found itself most at home out in the open, under the great pines.

Excerpt from In Memory of Bert Leston Taylor (B. L. T.): Program and Records of a Public Meeting Held in the Blackstone Theatre, March 27, 1921
When the Flonzaley Quartet gave their last concert in this theatre a few weeks ago they played Brahms' C Minor Quartet, which contains the romanza and allegretto to which we have just listened; and Bert Taylor was in his seat, as he always was for the concerts of the Flonzaley Quartet, bathing his soul in the ineffable beauty of the music, even as have we today.
Music was to him an essential element. He lived under an intense nervous strain, his whole heart bound up in the "Line" which was never absent from his thoughts day or night; and as he gave of himself without stint so he constantly had recourse to the restorative powers of music as necessary to his well-being.
He was a tonic.
