“I did sleep with John Cage,” [Harrison] said with a huge grin. “Only once. It was wonderful.” - Mark Swed, “Lou Harrison’s generosity endures when we most need it,” latimes.com


Harrison and Cage would collaborate in the years following, and engage in several romantic liaisons. – Wikipedia


It may have been a thing of chance,

This Harrison and Cage romance; –

Although it’s inexact to call

A one-time fling romance at all.
