June 25 - Hot Times


More heated activity, posting  


Two and a Half Pieces on the


International Music Score Library Project (having to designate it as 2.5 for proper alphabetization... whatever...) before heading out to the


carnival


of


Gigi's 50th birthday celebration,


with music,


appropriately enough, by Melody and company.


Then


more


melodious


activity,


beyond


the Bay Bridge for the


San Francisco


Composers Chamber Orchestra's  


Lost Things Found,



with


final


rehearsals


(for Bernard Herrmann


and


Loren Jones),


sound checks (for William Severson,


John


Beeman,


Samuel Ostroff, Martha Stoddard,


Lisa Scola Prosek, and Allan Crossman), and the concert itself -- excellent from start to finish.
