...family moved to San Anselmo, Calif., in opulent, socially liberal Marin County. John was gentle and shy. He played the flute, had close relationships rather than a big circle of friends, and told people that he wanted to help the poor when he grew up. After a semester at a local high school, John transferred to Tamiscal High, an alternative school with 100 students and a self-directed, individualized course of study. As a freshman and sophomore, Walker studied world arts and culture, including Islam and the Middle East. Marilyn Walker had left Catholicism and become a Buddhist; John...
Fleming returned from the intermission wearing a floor-length plaid stole of mixed Scotch-Italian influence, and began a Debussy set with a soaring note in “La Flute de Pan.” The pensive, worried mood of this piece soon segued into the sublimely happy—and rather seductive—love song, “Le Cheverlure.” The third Debussy song, “Le Tombeau des Naides” had a few trills here and there, but was not outstanding overall...

Fokin carved all the dozen or so puppets in his show, drawing on Russian folk stories to create new characters. Doo Doo was an original character; its name comes from Fokin’s pronounciation of “Toot Toot” in a deep, Russian-accented voice...
...Alert)” starts to layer the horns over a groovy, yet still camp bassline. One has to admire the talent of the Money man: Although he does recruit various friends on drums and suchlike (including Sean Lennon on electric bass), almost everything is played by himself, from flute to nylon guitar. The album might have benefited from the presence of some words (perhaps even delivered by a Beastie?) but that would have detracted from the monolithic simplicity of the groove, in which the keyboard (or Korg Triton, or arp odyssey synth, or whatever) is king...
