Elmer Ploof, in charge of parking-meter collections for Detroit, has stored in the city treasurer's safe two overflowing bushel baskets of rings taken from meters-out of sight perhaps, but not out of mind...

The performance itself was the epitome of spontaneity. As such it was in direct contrast to the highly premeditated and overdone performances that have dominated the rest of the concert series. Here finally were three musicians blithely making music--and enjoying it, damn...
