This article is accessible thru Amazon.com. It is contained in a compilation entitled “Da Capo Best Music Writing 2001” You can search inside the book online and read the entire article. I just finished reading it. Thank you for making me aware of it.
i was not so lucky, could only read half or so of it. maybe because i don’t buy too much there.
also, i discovered that this article was included in a collection of some of the best profiles published in that magazine (“Life Stories: Profiles from The New Yorker”).
Thanks to being made aware of this in another post, I read this online at Amazon some time ago.
I did get to what appears to be ‘the end’ of what you’re allowed to read, instead of using the arrows I changed (overtype it) the page number and with a bit of to’ing and fro’ing you can get through it all. (Inherent sneakiness of being a professional system tester 😉 )
Hope this helps as it was well worth it.
