American Double's The Bolcomb Project

I woke up this morning at 2:30 AM. One of the benefits of running is that it tends to maximize sleep. I sleep deeply for five hours and then I'm up. So while the rest of the apartment building was wrapped in slumber I decided to read yesterday's paper and listen to American Double's two-disk recording of William Bolcom's complete works for violin and piano titled The Bolcom Project. Though not always easy to ingest in the small hours, I had the radiator pumping out heat next to me and I was in bed drifting in and out of sleep. I thought about what it is that we do when we pass by a house that we once lived in and we stop and take a look. What are we looking for?
