Etudes (1931 or 1932). John Cage /listening log/

Not sure where I am going with this, but I'm in a bit of a wtf mood...

• As You Said. Wheels of Fire. Jack Bruce, Pete Brown. Cream. And who would Pete Brown be?
• Fantasia after Music by Bach. Ferruccio Busoni. Egon Petri. Not that I know who Egon Petri is, for that matter.
• Etude No. 1. John Cage. Stephen Drury. What's Elliott Carter's opinion of John Cage? Just wondering...
• Depth Perception. Paul Rosas. The Frog Peak Collection. Short piece that could be misconstrued as coming from an ailing computer.
• 2005-06-20. John Maxwell Hobbs. Cinema Volta. Would Mozart have been this good at daily podcasting? His, John's that is, new podcast, Sporadic Outbursts, here.
• Build My House. Marcia Henderson. 100 Years of Peter Pan. Is Marcia related to Skitch or Florence? Were Skitch and Florence related?
• Etude No. 6. John Cage. Stephen Drury. What exactly was Cage's educational agenda with these pieces? This one is a little too sparse and uneventful, even for me. On the other hand, if he really wrote these in the thirties, they were radical beyond belief, an homage to Satie, or both.
• Etude No. 2. John Cage. Stephen Drury. Ok, that's better. It has so much energy it even reminds me of ragtime. Ok, not really.
• When Soft Winds. George Antheil. George Antheil. Antheil Plays Antheil. This is a choral piece. Antheil can also sing?
• Willie the Pimp Part One. Frank Zappa. Fillmore East, June 1971. This is so unlike the stellar Captain Beefheart/Frank Zappa studio version on Hot Rats. Even the FZ guitar solo on this version is lacking. So what's the story between those two? Any Zappa-ologists in the audience?

Pete Brown? Name rang a bell. But google/wikipedia are our friends.

Less than stellar Willie the Pimp? I assume the good Captain was not on stage. Were Captain B and Frank still talking to each other? I'd love to be able to help you further . . . But I am more of a Beefheartist than Zappologist (although I do have a soft spot for Zappa's Uncle Meat).

They did fall out. That, I know. But it's a long time ago to remember in detail the lives of other people. More so when it was all gleaned at that time in London courtesy of Rolling Stone. A lot of water and other stuff has since passed under the bridge, et cetera. Maybe someone else remembers/knows. I hope they post.
