I love that your program plays Cage, Xenakis, et al. In the big scheme of things they still sound new and, obviously, are the inspiration behind so many new music styles

Nice to see you over at ImprovFriday :-) I have a sneaky suspicion its going to be busy there again this week (starting tonight thru Sat.)

You’re not a composer but a radio show host. Your young composer friend says you play too much music by the “old farts” (in your case Cage, Xenakis, Feldman, Crumb, etc.) and why don’t you play more music by composers in their twenties and thirties? Please refer him to rule no. 7.

I believe rule no. 6 is a La Monte Young composition, never realized because you’re not allowed to drop pianos on people’s heads!
