fond memories

Gotta love those rejection letters! And, as if I didn’t know right after I left the stage and they said “You’re done”, that I hadn’t won the job. Hello, Cleveland!

Wow, how polite (bizarre, confusing) of them to send an actual letter after the fact. I wonder if anyone does that anymore? 

that’s great.

reminds me of the coffee table in lutoslawski’s studio (warsaw, 1984).

he kept his favorite letters under glass.

among the best was one from a rundfunk orchestra (can’t recall which one) informing him that he did not get the percussionist job he applied for.

the punch line of that joke is that he never actually applied for such a position & had NO IDEA why he ever received such a letter.
