I'm sorry, I just forgot. It was a brutally hot filthy summer in Hollywood, and all the cheap fans and bowls of ice cubes we stuck in Dave's place werent enough to make it habitable, so we decided to go to the movies to see the
new Woody Allen movie The Purple Rose of Cairo. Danny Aiello
played this alternately pathetic and two-fisted bully of a mate to a frail and sweet Mia Farrow. Something about their relationship just struck me, and the story of a pathetically two-fisted loser seemed a perfect counterpoint to the winsome
and pretty track that Dave was constructing. I'd read something about Chopin being called a cannon in a rosegarden
by some other genius and was really into putting cannons in rose gardens at that time. Actually it still seems like a pretty good idea. Cannons on barricades seem kind of obvious, as do roses in rose gardens. A little pepper on your apple, perhaps?

Sorry for the oversight.

Yrs,

David Baerwald
