Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

Depends. Did the boxes contain trivia, all just "useful" stuff?

Did you group the objects per type per box, somehow, and send each box/group/type to a specific University?

Because this is what I remember.

But memory is a very tricky thing.

You might be thinking of the boxes I used to pack and ship to various universities over the years. Others on this list will be able to fill in the details better than I.

I never knew of any rented storage spaces, and I almost certainly would have.

I remember reading that, from one point on, Cage did not throw anything away. Instead he stored them in specially rented spaces.

Does that ring a bell?

Do I remember correctly? Or did I misunderstood what I have read, or even make it up?..

This idea has fascinated me ever since. I discover time and again the value of things, even trivial ones, that I miss years later, for one reason or another (if not for themselves, for their relation to other things, events etc).
