Re Joe Monzo estate

Joe: I hope you're not planning to shuffle off this mortal coil very soon!! The UCSD library would probably like your books. I've made donations to them (XHs, some scores from other composers). If you can get a list together first, it would make donation easier and surer.

If UCSD doesn't want them, SDSU might. It would depend upon what they already have, etc. Beyond that, I'd contact younger microtonalists at institutions.

As for unpublished articles, scores, etc. I don't know-- many libraries have space problems as I found out trying to donate journals to the country library system.

No, not _planning_ that at all! Given what i said about
admiring Mahler's acute awareness of how humans with
something to contribute are fated to leave things unfinished
at the time of their "suffling off", it should be no surprise
that i hope to survive well past 100 years!

However, i _do_ drive a lot, and much of that is on a
motorcycle, and i've already had one very close brush
with death on that several years ago (not to mention
being robbed at gunpoint more than once in my Philly days).
So i think a will is just a really good idea.

Yep, that's exactly who i thought of first.

I only mentioned it here because i thought that someone
out there who is familiar with my work would appreciate
the opportunity to inherit my papers and books, with the
idea, of course, that my work would be continued by him//her.

Really, come on... 21 years of Philly hasn't ruined me yet :)
