Israeli conductor Ilan Volkov breaks silence at BBC Proms

YouTube

"If prison is good for him, it's even better for some other
people I know who've committed no statued crime that I know of including all symphony conductors."

The quote is from audio of Harry Partch's Bitter Music, XVIII. October 24 Leaving Big Sur.

Crazy to listen to this time capsule from the Great Depression. Hobos, work camps, hitching rides & bumming around in between composing and meeting Yeats.

The ink is J. Herbin Moulin Rouge. A brick red with a lot of brown tone. Not at all what I expected when I ordered it.
Sorry for the misspelling of conductor.
