John Cage seems like he was a very interesting man.... would love to have had lunch with him. This interview included here was about a year before he passed on.

I hope Erwin did not get paid for that concert {smile} .... as for the last one I truly thought they were going to try and hold that one note for 20 minutes. This is really deep stuff actually, this whole subject you discuss here and I believe you (and other talented musicians) have an advantage to understanding and discussing the concept of silence within music better than us ungifted (musically) peoples.
