Happy Birthday, Elliott!!

December 11, 2008 by Molly Sheridan

Elliott Carter got a birthday shout-out on the local news last night. It’s also rumored that there will be some Willard Scott attention tomorrow morning on Today.

UPDATE: The Willard Scott segment has been postponed till “early next week.” We’ll keep you informed.

UPDATING THE UPDATE: Our pal Sarah over at B&H phones in to report: “We received confirmation from the TODAY show that Willard Scott will wish Mr. Carter a happy birthday this Friday, December 21, at 8:30 a.m. EST.” Be advised, my Carterphiles.

Economic, social, and technological gaps. But are we trying to close the gaps we see by transforming our presentations, our marketing, and even our art in ways we haven't
