Comments

  • George says:

    He wrote a fine chapter on comedy in music for the Oxford Handbook of the New Cultural History of Music. One of the few scholars to tackle this subject, and lots of fine observations. So tragically young.

  • Anthony Sayer says:

    That’s horribly young. My condolences.
