Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

Hello Again,

Many of you replied and now I have several paths to Esther. Thank you all.

I am preparing an email to Esther and will let you all know when I hear back 
from her. 

And yes, John’s “Overpopulation and Art” takes words and direction Esther's 
letter of 1992 (reproduced on the AHF site).

That letter had a strong positive effect on him as he limped through that 
dying year. I should have pointed out that his request to her, which prompted 
her marvelous reply, was “Does anarchy have a future?” He was asking things 
like that that year, even to the point of wondering if he (and his work) had 
a future. In retrospect this now seems sorrowful, but at the time I was so 
engrossed in making what I believed to be important work whole, that I simply 
overruled the darkness.

Andrew
