Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

["Christopher L Shultis" <>]

Dear members of the Silence mailing list:

I would like to greet you all on behalf of my father, 
Myron Bennett, who was a member of the Silence list. 
Myron passed away on August 7, 2010 at age 77 as a result 
of the advanced stages of Parkinson's disease.  I know 
that his interest in and admiration of John Cage and his 
works was a very important part of his life, and I am sure 
that it was very valuable to him to be able to communicate 
with you all via the list after his retirement from WGUC 
in 1993.  Myron's last weeks were spent being cared for by 
the nurses and staff at the Hospice of Cincinnati, where 
he was treated with the deepest care and compassion and 
his wishes for a dignified death were respected.  I share 
his love for music, and I was able to sit with him and 
play him CDs of some of his favorite works (including 
Debussy, Miles Davis, and Jacques Brel) during his last 
days.

I'm including below some web links to Myron's obituary and 
other articles about him which you may find interesting if 
you would like to know more about him.  Please feel free
