Wake to a phone call from Bruce Cook re substituting for Monty Bairos today -- no lesson plans, just winging it, can do. Compose page five of Psalm 54 before the visage of St.-Diablo-of-the-Clouds (sacrilege, no doubt) comes into view, on a celestial day of John Williams's Star Wars: The Force for dictation, keyboard-solfege, and board harmony. A briefest bit of the movie, too, plus blog review of harmony re Glass, Waters, and Williams, and a nice work by Brandon Armienti.
The Monty classes follow: dictation and solfege on Lowell Mason's Mary Had a Little Lamb for his Music Fundamentalers, plus John Lennon and the Beatles for the History of Rock and Roll Class -- the latter including Ian Acredolo and Ranjani -- with a warm round of applause thereafter.
Between classes, also asked to sub tomorrow for same, meaning a bright and early arrival that is always a bit alarming...
As for today, it's late to the lab, and coffee thanks to Doug, to record Henry Miller in Brooklyn: XV. Suicide and Seduction Song and XVI. Party Tango, plus begin a new piece: All the BBC Sound Files, Op. 192, recording I. Sound Effects.

twilight, no way to connect with Harriet until after her La Traviata final rehearsal, pretty tired, yet can the typical tasks prevail? Sure. Kinda. Those travails being fourth movement of Interrupted Interludes (Child Song) pdf'd, first act of Mice and Men brought over from PC to Mac, and 5:15 for the Camino Real: Block 7 video.
Still at 478 MB (46.75%) of 1024 MB, so at last, right on schedule, at least for now...
