Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Clemens Gresser <>]

Dear All,

Whereas I haven't seen the 'Every Day is a Good Day' book yet. If it
is in anyway as thought-through as the concept of the touring
exhibition (I saw the exhibition at Kettlesyard in Cambridge, UK) and
similar to what Jeremy Millar said at a recent Cage "symposium" (more
a study day, but hey), then I can highly recommend it.

Will need to have a look at the book now, but the concept of the
exhibition is/was/will be very Cageian and sound.

Best wishes,
Clemens
