[MBishopSFX]

Holy Garden of Cosmic Speculation that's a bunch 'o' work!

Congratulations to you and your team!
May you do well.

The Chicago contingent will provide stiff competition in some categories.
It's all good clean fun!

Very fine efforts, Michael!

Cordially,

Wait a minute! How do you know about this? The Garden of Cosmic Speculation is a creation of my uncle, Charles Jencks. Pretty cool place to check out!

Congrats to all!

Michael Gandolfi's composition, "On the Garden of Cosmic Speculation" was one of the nominated works. It's as cool of an orchestra piece as the actual Garden of Cosmic Speculation in Scotland.

Thank you for the congrats!!!

I'll have to check it out. I'm assuming that my uncle knows about the piece. Kind of a cool thing, as his father was a composer in the modern classical idiom, so it's nice to hear that people are writing music about his work.

What was the quote about dancing about architecture?

Congrats Michael!

I appreciate your contributions here too! It's great to learn from a Jedi.
