July 10 - Towards the Promised Land
Follow
the
coastal
maritime
layer
on
its
inland
edge
which
today
includes a billowy, willowy pillar of cloud
towards
the
DVC Pianists,
returning
to
compose
a fourth page of Six Enneads: IV, plus class preparation and paper grading (109th day of summer, cooling down slightly to high = 98, for the 34 90+ of the season),
then
out
again
to rendezvous with the
Music Historians, wrapping up the Romantic, and heading towards the amazing early 20th Century...
