Stout wrote some 50 music compositions and arrangements, many of which have been performed publicly. <br><br>He stayed busy as a piano tuner and technician and worked with architects to design the original Kimbrough music building. The music listening library in Kimbrough is named after him. <br><br>Stout shared his collection of piano rolls with listeners across the country by narrating and recording 242 half-hour programs for a series he titled “The Legendary Pianists.” <br><br>He died peacefully at home July 3.
