Subject To Dean Smith re: Spring course; Grant/Donor
Happy 2017, Judi!
I just had a conversation with a patron of The Institute for Music & Brain Science who is
interested in making a donation to UCLA (with overhead) that would provide salary for me to
work on my book, tentatively titled "The Music Instinct. Mind, Brain & Culture". I have already
signed on with a top literary agent in NYC at [CM Talent (Kris Dahl).
Also, I received the happy news that Professor White and the Neuroscience Program will fund at
least part of my Music Mind & Brain course this Spring Term. Thank you for planting the seed
that made that possible!
Might you be available to meet next Wednesday 2/8 or Thursday 2/9 to discuss the above?
Cheers,
Mark
