The New York Times of August 12, 1996 contains an excellent obituary of
Conlon Nancarrow, who died on August 9.  As of this evening, the obituary
is still not on the New York Times web site (www.nytimes.com).  If it
shows up later, I'll let you know.  In the mean time, I guess you can
find a copy in your local library.

I think it's an interesting biography of the man.  It occupies about
20 column-inches, so I'm not about to start typing it in.
