Last Thursday (as noted below) I performed in a John Cage tribute concert in Brooklyn.  Chico's posted some photos (and a video), and a music blog reviewed the show.

I'm also looking forward to participating in another Cage piece that Kurt Gottschalk (one of the tribute concert's organizers) is putting together:  "49 Waltzes for the 5 Boroughs" is a piece for performers, recording makers (recordists?  recorders?), and listeners scattered throughout New York City.  Should be fun.

Best links to learn about John Cage?

I suspect this leossn can, and should, be tied into the of journalists who have crossed the line from reporting on the Occupy Wall Street protests into participating in them.That line is a lot more obvious to the generation most commonly at the editor / senior producer stage of their careers than it is to the generation many field reporters and associate producers tend to be in. They're too used to collaboration. Too used to making themselves part of the never-ending story of themselves played out on Facebook and Twitter for the last five years. And, apparently, they're not learning where that line is from j-school.Equally important, I don't think they're learning it from their editors and senior producers, either. I don't deny that (on the face of it) Caitlin Curran crossed the line. But how many young journalists are essentially told by their superiors to go out and find something interesting to post on our facebook page ? It's one thing to blame a kid who plays with matches and starts a fire. It's another thing to look at who gave the kid the matches and sat him in a puddle of gasoline, y'know?
