[Dixielandjazz] John Cage!

[Bill Gunter]

Listmates,

I hope you have all had the opportunity to listen to the wonderfully 
evocative performance of "Water Walk" by composer and lecturer/teacher John 
Cage.

And to think there are those petty little individuals who would refer to 
Maestro Cage as a "fruit cake."  Pfaahhh! A pox upon them.

Who cannot deny the deep musical expression of the rubber duck! And that 
passage wherein Cage actually drinks a glass of water . . . beautiful!

I think the reason Cage named this particular selection "Water Walk" was 
because half way through at least half the audience needs to go to the 
bathroom!

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "Cage is a genius!" Gunter
