Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Tom Bickley <>]

I'll chime in as one of the several academic music librarians on this list to say that the new budget year is starting for many of us, so if you have a connection to an academic library, now is a great time to recommend this beautiful edition for purchase. Some of the better funded music collections have standing orders for the https://sites.google.com/a/umich.edu/musa/home series, and this may arrive as part of that. Alas, the underfunded state university in which I'm the library faculty member for performing and visual arts doesn't have that as a standing order, but I'm certainly putting it on my list (pending pandemic related-budget cuts). 

Your advocacy helps us argue for the funding for such scholarly endeavors. Thank you, Louis, for pointing to Libraries! 

Pax, -Tom

This may help some of you in making your decision -

(and a bank roll might be in order as well).
