It's a big story...

And when all this madness is over, it will go on.

Thanks, Rod. 

The change did not make the headlines, but thankfully, it didn't pass unreported.

Also, I forgot to mention that a chord change for the 
Halberstadt version of "Organ²/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible)” 
happened on his birthday yesterday. 
This was the first note change since 2013!

Listening to one version of the birthday boy’s “108” today.
I’d been looking forward to seeing a live version of this 
being performed on this date for over a decade, 
but, alas, we have to either listen to a recorded version,
or create our own version (using 108 speakers arranged 
around the house?) or just conceptualize the whole thing 
in our mind’s eye. Let’s hope that we can enjoy a live 
performance of 109a and/or 109b next year.

stay safe and don’t let your emotions overrule reasoning!
