Mr. Fagan did well to mention the great Ken Kelman–made me get my film reels of Jonas Mekas movies out and project them allon my apartment wall. The instrument he refers to is the Suzuki Qchord, which is like an electronic autoharp (harp with concertina-like buttons for chords).

It is a great song writing tool. Then again, so is anything. Chickens, even.

I agree. The Beethoven Chicken Sonata is seldom played today, but is a remarkable piece of music.
