July 24 - Material Whirl


After much of the day's musical activities (Pdf for Missa "The a Deux": III. Credo [part 4], seventh page composed for Psalm 66, Page 66 of Countess Cathleen orchestrated, fourth video of The Bald Soprano edited), depart with Harriet towards the Sierra,


via the library for


book / video resupply (a lot of musicals, including


Carmen Jones [1954, after Georges Bizet's Carmen, 1874],


Finian's Rainbow [Burton Lane, 1947 / 1968],


Gay Divorcee [Cole Porter, 1932 / 1934],


Guys and Dolls [Frank Loesser, 1950 / 1955],


Hit the Deck [Vincent Youmans, 1927 / 1955],


The King and I [Richard Rodgers, 1951 / 1956],


Lullaby of Broadway [1951],


Night and Day [1946, re Cole Porter],


The Pied Piper of Hamelin [1957, sorta after Robert Browning, sorta after the Medieval tale, 1284],


The Pirate [Cole Porter, 1948],


The Producers [Mel Brooks, 1968 / 2001 / 2005],


The Rocky Horror Picture Show [Richard O'Brian, 1975, after the 1973 Rocky Horror Show], and


Shall We Dance [George Gershwin, 1937]).


Then, with some traffic (listening to J.J. Hollingsworth's Pomp and Circumstances), it's I-80 past


Davis,


Auburn,


Foresthill Road,



Bear River Canyon,


Emigrant and


Yuba Gaps, the


latter's Pass,


Cisco Butte,


Castle Ridge, and the


Donner Grade, then up 89 past


Little Chief Cliffs to


Tahoe


City for the final walk along the area's


bike path -- specifically from


Lake


Forest


Road


to


Dollar Drive at the path's end (part of the ongoing series of walks from the California coast to the Nevada border).


After an


al fresco


Lakeside,


we return in the cover of night.
