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.
