That’s cool, Scott, it’s was great to hear Rzewski likes this version. Many thanks for including it in your podcast.

Well, that’s how Rzewski described him to me, but I’ll admit that I didn’t look into it. Mea culpa.

Gavin Friday is many things, but he’s not quite a ‘rapper’ as Scott describes him in his podcast.

Thanks, but I much prefer the Robert Ashley segment that starts the show!

Thanks! Interesting performance.

My personal preference is always going to be the original Opus One LP with Steve ben Israel (speaker), Karl Berger (vibraphone), Alvin Curran (piccolo trumpet), Jon Gibson (alto sax), Joan Kalisch (viola), Garrett List (trombone), Frederic Rzewski (piano), and Richard Youngstein (bass). It has the energy of that particular period, and i don’t know that any subsequent performance could capture it that way. Just my bias.

Sorry, Scott. I left out the most important part–the link. I really am getting senile.

The real news was that everyone can listen to the track on my podcast this week. It’s not like I’d tell folks about it and not share…heh.

I knew that, of course. But, I’m old. Give me a break.
