    Here is a snip of a photo Loren shared on FB of Mr. Edgehill during the oral history interview from earlier this summer.  He certainly looks younger than 98!

    According to Al Fielder (RIP), Arthur was playing a heck of a lot of golf down in Florida!

  2. Hah, oh well, it happens... can't do much about people of a certain generation who spend a ton of time on Facebook and the website formerly known as Twitter. She and I may not agree on much outside of music but I do like her piano playing. I should check in on yr IG as I don't always see who's followed me.

    Me too, that Levitts record is weird but cool.

     

  3. sure, there are grey areas and incomplete stories around sexual violence and I would never argue with that. But I find it hard to doubt the basic framework in a story of someone who was assaulted. And yeah, Getz & Grimes' closeness has been documented -- they left for California together in 1966 -- so maybe he wrote it down somewhere. 

    and not to pile upon Hubbard, but at the very least his drinking and cocaine use, and penchant for being rather 'out of it', are fairly well-established. Not that alcoholism/cocaine use equal sexual abuser, but people hopped up on shit do some very uncool things.

  4. Men rape and assault women. It's sadly common and probably was even more prevalent (though less talked about) 50+ years ago. I don't know why this is so hard to believe. We have a pretty good idea that sexual manipulation and abuse is partly why Jutta Hipp quit the scene; seems to be a possibility for Jane Getz, too, though she remained musically active.

  5. That's a chunk of change. Yeah, I remember it being a lot more left-field than the festival has become in recent years. Obviously it is expensive as hell to put on something like this so one has to bet on some "sure things," but as an observer, to me it hits the middle of the road.
