...Goats and Cows. Boudreau does his own summer traveling in a Dodge Sightseer with his wife Kathleen and their three children-Jonathan, 6; Robert Josquin, 3; Tanya, 2. The rest of the year, home is a 20-acre farm outside Pittsburgh where he raises goats and cows, grows corn and tomatoes and listens to tapes of new composers who may be worth a commission...

It was, he said, "about the same as flying in an airliner at, say, 30,000 feet, and looking down at clouds at 10,000 feet." During the daylight hours, he peered out his cabin window at the earth far below. Over California, he spotted part of the Imperial Valley to his left, and the Salton Sea; he could even pick out the irrigated acres around El Centro, where...
