Happy Birthday, Don!

Sixty-two?

I remember when you were twenty-six.

We met, as I recall, when you were two.

What better experience for playing with the Velvet Underground, whose mentor, Andy Warhol, once observed “the channels switch, but it’s all television,” than to appear on I’ve Got a Secret?

I’ve Got a Secret (Garry Moore, host; John Cale, guest), 1963

The piece he plays at the end, Vexations, was composed in the early 1890s by Erik Satie.
