Program Notes
I mis-read a neon sign. It was in a handwritten font, and I thought it said “WHYCLOPS” but it did not. It made me wonder, though, who or what is the WHYCLOPS? A one-eyed mythical creature, overly concerned with self- actualization? A maimed pirate consumed with existential dread, considering a career change?
Maybe. Nobody cares.
