I met John Cage once, so maybe it’s the 100th anniversary of his birth rather than his death, isn’t it?
I am going to add your blog to my list on mine, funny, I though it was there already, if you don’t object.
thanks for all the new works!

Hi Daniel,
you’re absolutely right – i meant Cage’s birth! i’ve corrected the text – thanks! Please do add me to your blog list – i took a look at yours, & i just wish my French was better…!
Hi Simon,
When I approached him, in the 70s, at the intermission of a concert where his Freeman studies for violin were being premièred in France, my English was still very poor after 7 years of school, and I stammered a question about something I had read in the concert leaflet. Cage, nicely, answered me I could go on in French. Before I could open my mouth, a tall American woman snatched him by arm without a glance at me, and I will never have an answer to my question! (I still remember what it was!).
I have translated some of my posts, I promised I will do more!
