[silence] cage's residences

[Daniel Wolf]

Robert Steven has a written a detailed account of Cage's moves around 
Southern California. Based on the addresses in Stevenson's article, I'd 
say that Cage knew the California bungalow well. (see: Robert Stevenson, 
"John Cage on his 70th Birthday: West Coast Background," Inter-American 
Music Review 5, no. 1 (Fall 1982): 3-17).

Also, Lou Harrison once mentioned visiting Cage and Xenia Cage in an 
apartment (IIRC, in San Francisco) that was so small that guests had to 
be entertained under the grand piano. Mr. Harrison recalled one meal in 
particular, consisting entirely of pastries, with a different pastry for 
each course of the meal.  A macrobiotics diet was, of course, not yet 
part of Cage's routine.
