John Cage performs "Water Walk," Jan, 1960


actual performance begins at 4:40

"I've Got a Secret" was a popular TV game show in the US from 1952 to 1967. At the time of this broadcast, Cage was teaching at Experimental Composition at the New School in New York City and was considered one of the most controversial figures in the musical world. In order to allow Cage time to perform his entire piece, the game show format was cancelled. See also wfmu.org
