Another day of foggy / clear / foggy,
careening
forth to
Diablo Valley College for the second day of student teaching. End of third round of compositions, so a presentation of Business As Usual: IIc. Information Wanted, rounds out the class, followed by an afternoon inversion of above as
clear /
foggy /
clear (the 680 corridor hangs tough with the clouds all day). By evening, after typical musical endeavors (Street Songs pdf system 3, more composition re The Cop and the Anthem [page 59] and Psalm 81 [M5]), we head the door sequentially in the returned
stratus for
Berkeley
and
another
Kurt Weill
Project
performance,
this
time
with
a
significant
portion
of
The Threepenny Opera (featuring accordionist John Bilotta, artistic director Harriet March Page, and pianist Martha Cooper) including The Ballad of Mac the Knife,
Instead of Song (Alexis Lane Jensen, Sibel Demirmen, Zoltan DiBartolo),
Barbara Song,
Jealousy Duet (Demirmen, Michelle Jasso),
Cannon Song (DiBartolo, Branislav Radadovic),
Pirate Jenny,
First Threepenny Finale, and the choral-reprise version of
Mac the Knife (Page, Lane Jensen, Dimirmen, Jasso, Radakovic, DiBartolo, Molly Mahoney, and Justin Marsh). Excellent performances; with lots of familiar, friendly folks in attendance, including
Allan and William Crossman, Peter Josheff, Eliza O'Malley, John Veich, and Wayne Wong;
and a great time is had by all.
Homeward
lateward.
