          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                                Night night mercs

                                Three generations of T, all bound together by a buffalo boy

                                T One, present at Dostoesvsky’s deathbed, conducted Diaghilev’s ballets and operas and when the Ballets Russes was invited to give a gala performance in London in 1911 commemorating the coronation of George V, a ballet by him and starring Nijinsky was selected as the vehicle.


                                T Two composed a Georgian rhapsody and his second symphony was premiered by Kubelik

                                After studies with Pierre and Karlheinz, T Three assisted with the electronic and taped portions of Leon Kirchner’s unfinished work Lily

                                What T is this? - and can you solve the buffalo boy connection?
