I'm pulling together a performance of John Cage's '49 Waltzes for the Five Boroughs' for April 26 (rain date April 27) at 3 p.m. The piece calls for "49 Performer(s) or Listener(s) or Record Maker(s)" at given locations. Play, dance, make a field recording or just sit and listen. I'm going to try to find a place to host written reports, photos and audio recordings after the fact. You can see the addresses at

Once one address is taken, the other two in the section are eliminated. 'Richmond' refers to Staten Island. It'd be great to get people who live on, or are willing to go to, Staten Island, since there are a lot of them. Please feel free to forward this to anyone who you think might be interested. E-mail me with your chosen location (anyone dare try JFK Airport?) and what you'll be doing (instrument, recorder, listener), and I'll update the blog and notify you. I'm also open to suggestions for a good, central place for an after-show meetup.
