He also had a grand piano in the room -- not so much Morningside lace
curtains as the Royal Festival Hall. The reel-to-reel tape recorder was
industrial strength (for the music) and a bit overkill for simply recording
The Spoken Word. But it was there, so he used it.
(As were the buses, no doubt lying in wait outside with jaws slavering,
anxious to devour the nearest poet. Driven by the Busconductor Hines. Or
was that later? Group III.ii rather than III.i.)
