Day 255 — Ein wunderbar Tage
13-April-1972 (Donnerstag–Thur.)
An
incredibly full day—horn lesson, piano practice,
electronic music composition and lecture, Leonard

I get ready for my trip to Munich to see my college friends of Montclair State, followed by a ski trip to Kitzbuhel to see my brother. I leave at night. Exciting.
