Good for Wayne. This guy has been a constant in my life since I was young. When I tried to out punk the punks he was there with Naked City. When I tried to grow up he was there with the New York Composers Orchestra. When I ran away to Seattle he was there with Zony Mash an Pig Pen. When I bought a home he was there with the Royal Room and last week when I took my daughter to a dance performance he was there as the composer for the strange ensemble. I'm not a good fan in that I'm not good at following artists but Wayne Horvitz works so bloody hard - he's just there - omnipresent.
This is great news and totally Seattle proud - love the guy!! And the Royal Room continues to book some of the greatest stuff in the city...we are so lucky. THANKS and CONGRATULATIONS Wayne.
