Did I mention before that I put together and taught a course this past summer called "The Music of New York"? If not, I should blog about that sometime.
Right now, though, that is long over, but I've been asked to do a guest-lecture for my friend Rachel's Art of Listening class on Thursday, and so this post is just to gather in one place some of the videos and etc that I plan to use.

Thanks for posting these! These are great.
And thanks for coming to speak to our class.
Hi Em. It was wonderful to come to your class, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity. It always makes me happy to chat about my work with interesting, smart people, and your class is absolutely that!
