The expert recording in San Jose was ruined because the damned bass player was practicing offstage during the James Merrill movement. This time, only a pair of glasses falling to the floor marred that movement. Their performance was excellent. They really know the piece and played the hell out of it. The audience seemed genuinely to love the piece, and 1/3 stood to say so. I pulled out the banjo to do EMILY but sadly there was no bass, so it sounded just WEIRD. I figure I’ll add the bass in my studio and it should be just fine. [I’ll post it if it is.] [...] [...] Daniel brought his computer along [surprise] and recorded the performance.

Emerson, poet, string quartet. Duhh. My biggest problem is that I give birth to a piece, and then abandon it by moving on to my next project. Note to self: send the damn string quartet to the Emerson SQ. What a great idea! Emerson, poet, string quartet. Duhh.

Maybe the Emerson can do the piece, and include Emily with Bela Fleck. Why not I say?? Congrats Roger.
