Even though you touched on it in your article, Ms Clark, I just wanted to affirm what a good musician Bill is. My friend and I, who were having a love affair with Mozart at the time, were appalled when Bill claimed that he didn't listen to Mozart anymore because his music was too simple. He then sat down and played several more modern pieces that he liked, while he told stories of his early days when he lived down the hallway from John Cage, and laughed loudly and exuberantly. He played wonderfully and I was amazed at his talent. I remember thinking how much fun Bill seemed to be having, just living his life. I think your piece captured that well. - Beverley Eyre I was fortunate enough to spend a weekend with Bill and Paul in the 19080’s when a close friend, who had known Bill through the Stravinsky’s, and I visited them in San Francisco.

This is for Mr. Brown and on Paul Wonner. How is it that when setting up a table or working at my desk, I immediately come back in my mind to Paul Wonner´s still lifes. Even when I am setting up my vegetables to start cooking I find myself setting them up alla Wonner... I´ve been at his 1981 Recent Paintings at the John Berggruen Gallery in SF while living in Berkeley. What an impact on me! On July 1981, in my late twenties. Soon came back to my place in the world, South America. Many years have passed and still remember all his painting vividly. His art collaged into me. It´s quilted in my mind, for ever. Warmest regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina Estela Nice article, thanks.
