[silence] celebration

[Christopher L Shultis]

Dear Rod,

Yes I've been thinking about him and his legacy all day. I 
worked. Very hard. And it reminded me of what Cage wrote 
in his "Future of Music" essay regarding his opinion about 
music and work. A great essay to read today, or at least 
to think about. There's so much to do now, just as there 
was then when he wrote it. And with the same urgency too. 
Perhaps even more so. Who knows?

I don't know what Cage would have been doing today if he 
were still alive but I would guess that to whatever degree 
he was capable he'd be working as hard as he could at 
whatever he was doing at the time.

So a perfect connection to Cage I think--that his birthday 
is the day following the US celebration of Labor Day!
