***
Looking forward to it all coming together for the open dress rehearsal and concert,
on a day
(70th of summer -- exactly as many spring days at this point -- plummeting down 16 to 80... 64 in San Francisco's Richmond District)
beginning with the
Diablo Valley College Music Theoreticians taking their Exam - Part II
(examples from Howard Shore, Thom Yorke, and Gustav Mahler),
continuing
with a tour du north Contra Costa via Cummings Skyway,
Crockett
and
San Pablo
Boulevards.
Great
times,
and
beyond
to
coffee /
dinner / score-study, and the animated rehearsal... Home late to continue
