Yeah.

I remember for a bit 'Stocky' was offering to lend his credits to your
resume for a mere $300.
All you had to do was attend one of his lectures at Darmstadt.
Then add the phrase 'studied w/Stockhausen' to your list of credentials.
Sneaky.

More seriously, I understand that Cristian Vogel STUDIED with Stockhausen
at one point.
Any confirmations/denunciations?

I don't believe Cage actually held a specific Conservatory post at any
point in his life.
At least not long enough for anyone to be an 'apprentice' or 'understudy'.
If meeting him/attending one of his many lectures constitutes 'studying
under' him,
there are probably tens of thousands of 'disciples' out there.

Track them all down. -Våt.
