Ned Rorem in Richmond, Indiana - between 1936 and 1965
from The Later Diaries of Ned Rorem 1961-1972, page 201:
At thirteen I knew backward Stravinsky's recording of Les Noces: it was about grown-ups getting married. Last week I saw the Robbins ballet on this music; it was about two kids getting married. With a sigh I felt my age.
