bass clef via Wikipedia

1. How Soon Is Now [12" Version]. The Smiths. The Sound of the Smiths
2. Opening from 'Glassworks'. Jeroen Van Veen. Minimal Piano Collection
3. Travellers. Meredith Monk. King Britt - Monk MIX: Remixes & Interpretations Of Music By Meredith Monk

I forgot about this Smiths song. Travellers is from a new recording of Meredith Monk remixes. So far, it's similar to and as good as the Glass and Reich remixes.

  Possibly because there's likely nothing new to discover, I have no interest in the SFS Mavericks fest. Still, I regret missing the initial showing of this film about Lou Harrison. Continues at the Roxy in SF through Sunday. A Beast in a Jungle
