I sure never knew: major league baseball umpires are obliged to wear black underwear. But not, I suppose, necessarily négligé.

Another ray of sunshine: an auld college friend responded to the Dark Side of the Dance Floor program:
Nine years ago today was the quiet roll-out of my radical peacenik religious sect: the Calm-ish.“The Henning Ensemble” – very classy! Thanks for sharing this on what was my 63rd birthday. Your instrumentation = the best of wind quintet + string quartet. Nice choice. It’s so cool to hear your current voice, poetic, humorous and expressive as always.
And: On a veritable roll with Suspension Bridge! [23 Aug 2010]
Although I have not done much actual work on it, these past couple of days, my musical brain has been considering the fixed media for the Opus 203. Unlike, say, Mistaken for the Sacred, in which interaction between the live activity and the fixed media is something rather aleatoric, I have felt that for Aaron’s Uneasy Sleep, I would emulate somewhat The Conquest of Emptiness in composing some interaction with the f.m. I have therefore been mulling what the “stuff” ought to be, and I think that I have an idea, or that I am going to borrow one from Robt Fripp. More soon.
