Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 07, 2014

Gotta love that family.

4’33" to be precise.

Lemme guess, this was last Sunday afternoon, right?

The CD of that song can’t begin to capture the vibrancy and mellowness of the one recorded on LP.

This shows how goo piano player you’re… or how good father is your father.

4’33’’ is easy to play on a intermediate level but impossible to master..

There was also a longer version (9’6") but it just didn’t resonate as well with test groups.

Every artist must make sacrifices; Phebe is willing to sacrifice practice time.

I would be very pleased if all current artists would do remakes of that song and it became the #1 radio hit for the next year.

iTunes will sell you an mp3 of that for only $.99https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/433/id406490689(check out the reviews) but Amazon UK has reduced the price on their copies… (used to be $.99 also)http://www.amazon.co.uk/433-John-Cage/dp/B002CED9EG

I’ve heard of a similar record released on 45 in the 1950s. If you get tired of being bombarded with noise from the jukebox, you could buy three minutes of silence. Also when CBS Records experimented with single-sided singles in the 1980s, the flip side was a silent grove.

It almost sounds like it had to do something with Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat.

Good call! ;-)And love John Cage myself.

Phoebe couldn’t practise the regular piece…she had to behold Marigold’s splendor.

Technically, it’s not [X minutes and X seconds] of silence, but of taking in the audience’s reaction to the piece. Did Phoebe at least practice walking in and sitting still, then walking out?
