November 7 - Time, Change


Three weeks and altered light since last seeing Crystal, 


out 


in 


the


early 


sun 


and


fog --


through 


Cordelia, 


past


Sentinel


Peak,


over


the


Sulfur


Springs


Mountains


to


Vallejo


across


the


great


marshy


expanse


of


37


to


Sears


Point


and


the


Petaluma


Plain


into


Marin


past


Deer Island,


and down


101,


to


rendezvous


in the



Terra Linda / Sleepy Hollow Divide


Open Space


with her


(and


Stanley),


wonderfully


catching


up


on


seemingly


everything --


then


San Anselmo to the post box (with financial greetings),


and


over the


bridge


to


the



East


Bay


and


Diablo


Valley College, for Paul McCartney's Yesterday (the first seven measures) as dictation and board-harmony with the Theoreticians.  It's voice-leading for keeps, plus 12-bar blues,


returning


homeward


under


a


cloud-dappled


sky


to deal with the other musical endeavors du jour (pdf of Mary Variations: I, and composition of page 41 Cop and the Anthem and beginning Psalm 79).
