I was delighted to receive an email from Walter Ray last week regarding my TST column on contemporary performances of Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha. He is an archivist at Southern Illinois University – Carbondale (SIU-C). Someone had sent him my earlier article and he was contacting me about the University’s 50th anniversary commemoration of their Treemonisha production. It was to be held November 16 on the campus. He kindly invited me to participate virtually and to offer an audience member’s perspective.
