April 10 - Suddenly This Spring


Into the blue,


22nd day of summer, first above 80, and way above at 86


(Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar: Hosanna for Dictation / Keyboard-Solfege / Board Harmony, George Crumb's Black Angels Kronos Quartet video,


thinking about the 40th anniversary of Roger Waters et al's Dark Side of the Moon...


classics as surviving the proverbial time tests) -- no complaints,


including


augmented


recompense


schoolwise


(substitute


gigs),


swinging


around


(freeway-wise,


that is)) and


finally


 picking up 21st-Century Music April 2013 in Berkeley,


glorious trip


across the Bay to


Marin,


savory offerings at Celia's over paper-grading (what's with those lamps, however?),


surprise greetings


at the


postbox --


including ASCAP's first royalties to New Music (a.k.a. Mus21stc),


galavanting around town for a


bit of fun,


wardrobe enhancement at


Macy's (careful to avoid the usurers),


homeward through the beauties adjacent to 101


and


37,


continuing


through


the


Sears


Point


area in


Sonoma,


to


Solano's lowlands,


the relatively heroic heights


of


Vallejo Cliffs,


American Canyon and


Sentinel Peak,


Fairfield Pyramids and


Poverty Hills,


North Lagoon Mountains, and -- behold -- ASCAP strikes again with a sizeable Quarterly Composer Royalty deposit notification... pretty great all around, with the evening devoted to the 21st of Cyrillic Russian ("oo"), video for  


The Decameron - First Day: Novel IX, and piano-vocal of the same's V.
