Tuesday, May 27, 2008 Sydney Pollack (1934-2008) Something in both his work & his off-stage persona spoke very deeply to me. In either setting he always managed to strike me as the type of grown-up I'd like to be. He still does. posted by Tom Myron Saturday, May 24, 2008 I Was a Teenage Minimalist 25 years ago this month- the Time & Motion Project performing my Counting Streams. Bezanson Recital Hall, UMass, Amherst. Clockwise from bottom left: Greg Tucker, T.M., Carolyn Oakley, Dave Barrett, Kurt Phinney Steve Reich was in the audience. He said, "You should come to New York after graduation." So I went to Washington DC & became a TV news cameraman instead. He also said, "Listen, you're not going to meet anyone else like Jessica. You should marry her." Our 20th anniversary is in September. This jibes with something my father (who took this photo) used to say quite a bit during this period. "You only pay attention about half the time." posted by Tom Myron Tuesday, May 20, 2008 Name That Tune 70 This is the seventieth in a 100 part series.
