Had the good fortune to see Glass perform in NOLA at the CAC some 30 years ago. The concert was very enjoyable made even more so because of the night before. Glass was the guest of a local friend of mine who asked me to join them for dinner. As we were planning to eat around the corner from my home the two came here first. We never made our reservation because Glass spent the evening pulling CDs from the shelves, playing them and commenting about each. One sticks in my mind. Seems he is a big fan of Carl Nielsen and was quite surprised I had a full set of his symphonies. (He also autographed all my copies of his own works.)
Nice work, Phil. I get a good feel for how Glass views this music from your writing about it.

Why wouldn‘t you watch Koyaanisqatsi? Is it not essential viewing?
It's not that I wouldn't — I just haven't. It's on my "eventually" list.
