Seems Laurie Anderson was at the Univ of Houston the other day

[Rich Clavey]

This is probably Laurie's nice way of saying I respect Tom's wish and won't take him up on it. If anybody could pull off something like this it would be Anderson. She could make a banjo sound like anything you wanted. There is a part of me that wishes she had called Pynchon's bluff and said, "Ok. Ok. I can do that."

And told the story of hearing from Thomas Pynchon when she wrote asking
If she could turn Gravity's Rainbow into an Opera.

He said Yes, he loves her work, but if she did she would have to score it for solo banjo. yi

" Some people have the nicest way of saying No", she said.
