Thanks for posting this. Merce Cunningham (April 16, 1919 -- July 26, 2009) was the best friend and lover of John Cage, my favorite composer. It is a sad day, but not surprising. Cunningham was 90 years old.

He frequently collaborated with Cage and virtuoso pianist David Tudor as a team. He worked with esoteric composers such as Dimas de Melo Pimenta and world-famous artists such as Jasper Johns.
Next week I'm dedicating my entire radio program to Merce.
