Silverman" Allen (of the West Coast Contingency) guessed the Partch trivia question correctly! Betty Freeman was (is) a major supporter of both Harry Partch and Kronos Quartet. The connection, to add a third spoke, is even closer to Ben Johnston: Harry introduced Johnston to Freeman (it would be confusing to say "Ben to Betty"), if I remember correctly, at a party in 1950 with Darius Milhaud--what would prove to be a very important party for Ben; it's too bad that Ms. Freeman didn't take photos. That most likely closes the circle between Harry, Betty F., and Ben J. Good work, Allen. I'm sorry we missed each other in February. I made it to San Jose, though. -Adam Received: from eartha.mills.edu [144.91.3.20] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 18:50 +0100 Received: from by eartha.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) for id JAA23958; Wed, 31 Jul 1996 09:49:59 -0700 Date: Wed, 31 Jul 1996 09:49:59 -0700 Message-Id: Errors-To: madole@ella.mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
