Up unconscionably early,
but
for
a
good
cause,
through
darkness,
fog
and
glimmers
of light to Marin, where Crystal and Stanley arrive
for
our
weekly
walk --
above
the
stratus
to
Plateau
Hill,
then
back
within,
through
the
Eucalyptus
Forest
and
the
Crestwood
Grasslands
to
farewell;
followed by financial greetings at the post box, etc.,
and
the
jaunt
across the Bay and
Coast Range to
Diablo Valley College for the first day of
student teaching.
All goes well, sunny skies for the afternoon, errands,
and
a return to other musical matters of the day re Street Songs (pdf of I. All My Relations, second system), The Cop and the Anthem (page 58), and Psalm 81 (M4).
Ah yes, midday also features a bit of wisdom from Doug re torrents of information, and -- lo and behold -- by evening, have miraculously enriched the digital music collection with items long absent from regular play (due to the inaccessibility of older formats), including:
George Gershwin...
Fascinatin' Rhythm
Piano Concerto in F
Three Piano Preludes
Funny Face
Embraceable You
Girl Crazy
Shall We Dance
Harry Partch...
Barstow (a less-distorted, though still scratchy, version)
Castor and Pollux
And on the Seventh Day Petals Fell in Petaluma (ditto re Barstow)
Daphne of the Dunes
