I really love the "I've got a secret" clips. I think I could live with having a stupid haircut if it also meant living in an age when stuff like this and John Cage were aired on prime time tv.
ReplyDeleteRay Kurzweil was also on "I've Got A Secret." He showcased a "computer" that randomly and automatically played Chamber-like music, that he built in his garage in Queens. He was 18.
ReplyDeleteThere's also a great episode of this show on YouTube w/ John Cale (w/ shortish hair, thick glasses, and suit!). His secret was playing in the John Cage produced concert of Erik Satie's 18 hour Vexations. Also appearing was the only gentleman who sat through the whole concert! But I'm w/ Sizone; my fave episode is Cage's Water Walk (where he had to smash the radios off the table instead of playing them due to union squabbling!).
