WNET Channel 13, the New York PBS station featured a series of shows all afternoon and evening reviewing performing arts in the late 20th century and since, based on the offerings of the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Next Wave Festival over the years, featuring the Kronos Quartet, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, the Bang on a Can festival, Gospel at Colonnus, Meredith Monk, Laurie Anderson...I’ve got most of these in my CD collection, and they have definitely formed my middle-age taste, so it definitely grabbed me for the day. And, IMHO, they hold up well.

In the course of the show on Cunningham, he was describing the problems he had with some early choreography software and said something...

”It wasn’t really a mistake. I just didn’t know better”. -- Merce Cunningham
