...real car. Meanwhile, the KGB car's odometer was temporarily removed to keep it from registering miles the Soviet would not be able to account for. Within three hours, the FBI was done and the cars were switched again. In the bugged car were a microphone and a tape recorder, which would be activated when the Soviet agent got into the driver's seat. What would the FBI do if the machine ran out of tape? An agent would walk up to the car, undo the taillight reflector, and replace the tape every few days. However, no arrests were made...

"There's one thing I know, for He loves me so." The old man's voice is untrained and shaky. And yet the tape, recorded in 1971 for a documentary film, has an undeniable dignity that Bryars found irresistible. Starting with a simple piano accompaniment, the composer gradually expanded the orchestration in a series of live performances, which culminated in 1975 in a half-hour recording...
