...composers of serious music have sought to expunge all extramusical references from their work. New Age music, on the other hand, is frankly, if often banally, evocative: of waterfalls, wheatfields, even the mysterious but benign resonance of deep space. All nature is grist for its mill. Former Bebop Jazzman Paul Winter, who is now making New Age records, lists his inspirations as he "African mbira (a hand-held instrument played with the fingers or thumbs) as well as the sounds of the humpback whale, eagle and the timber wolf."

...Delta Queen came to Red Wing the first night out from St. Paul; no stop was scheduled, but a hopeful crowd, some of them sporting handmade posters, had gathered at a nearby lock. When Grechko saw them, he couldn't resist their enthusiasm. As the paddle-wheel steamboat rested in the lock, he climbed across from a starboard deck onto the concrete bank and began shaking hands, accepting pats on the back and handing out small mementos from the Soviet Union, mostly pins and buttons that called for universal peace and an end to the arms race, mostly in Russian...
