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.
