  1. Thanks!

    I just recently badgered Planet's piano teacher last Wednesday into assigning Planet all three Gmynopedies. I love her teacher, but getting her out of the 19th century is a bitch.

  2. Ooh, Satie, very nice. Have you read the "interview" between him and John Cage? Very cool stuff; Cage took Satie's writings and turned them into an interview between the two of them that starts out hostile and ends up much less so; very, I guess, Cageyan.

  3. I'd not even heard of it, Ethan. I had a peripheral sort of relationship to the composer (Chalhoub, Chocolat) until my wife expressed a real affection and I learned, again, that she has far better tastes and instincts than me.

    I will try to find the Cage "interview."

    Thank you, again.
