hi solo mon!
Linda Lee: i attended a John Cage performance in SF (1988ish) and at the edge of the stage was a coffee maker. I got up and poured myself a cup during the performance. Years later i was talking with a friend who had been a percussionist in that performance, and he said John was very pleased by that!
1. The stories we all tell.

Have a sweet day all. Until laters.
