The Duke Ellington version of this tune always reminds me of the marathon... I seem to recall Ken using it with some regularity during the finale broadcasts, or maybe just on his own show.

You'd think Ken's Komedy Klub on the 1st floor would be golden, as far as income goes. Get a booking agent other than Andy.

I think it was Jeff Golick who spun a Meters record and a Robert Palmer record with the Meters backing earlier this week. Look what's up in SF: http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Meters-guitarist-sues-S-F-motel-for-racial-5794350.php

I believe the Cage piece is from "Three Dances for Two Prepared Pianos". Michael Tilson-Thomas does a great version that is readily available.
