Sounds as if Ms. Bush has recently completed reading "Silence" by John Cage. If she keeps up in this manner, soon she'll release an album with compositions for 18 randomly- tuned AM radios and you folks can all go ga-ga over that. Personally, I like Turetsky's work for contrabass and typewriter. I wonder if Mrs. Bach realized that in 300 years her new-born son would be ranked right up there with Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and Phil Collins. How proud she must have been! :-)(-: 'brd -- Larry J.
