Had a blast with Robert last week, and Spring Quarter starting now - have to tell you that —150 UCLA
undergrads signed up for my two Music Mind & Brain seminars this year (having to turn some away), and now
the NSci & Music programs have asked me to propose a General Elective course that enrolls hundreds of
majors/minors from all depts one term per yr. All this 30+ years after my 1980s Neurology professors and
colleagues told me I was nuts to suggest a research program on the cognitive neuroscience of music when none
existed. It took you and some NSci hall-of-fame believers - Hubel, the Gaz,Kiang - and a Harvard Provost's
Award for Educational Innovation from Harvey Fineberg to nurture the maverick, feed the beast, and make it
happen. Heartfelt thanks, as always, for supporting The Institute and me all these yearsxxx
