Quiz 4 for the
Music Historians,
more
dynamic
travels to
destinations,
including afterwards another jaunt on the
San-Ramon-to-Pleasant-Hill-via-Mt.-Diablo Route,
Scenic north again,
ascending the
Grade to
Foothill
Summit.
After this,
blitz over to Danville's
Los Panchos for a
delicious repaste,
then a
nostalgic
wander
towards
St. Mary's via Reliez Valley and Rheem,
beyond to Moraga and Canyon,
up
to
Skyline,
contouring
around on
Tunnel,
to the fifth rehearsal of the Goat Hall Productions, etc.,
read-through of Matthew Owens's The Garden (2013), chez Jeanne Stark --
where a nice autographed picture of Darius Milhaud hangs prominently behind the piano.
But that location is a good place to leave a computer,
leaving blithely homeward with a woodblock in tow (used in the show, and somehow diverting attention from normative behavior). Somewhere around Hercules, the Stravinskian Oedipus Rexian TRUTH STRIKES. Harriet tries calling the technologically elusive Matthew -- no luck -- but reaches Megan Cullen, who acknowledges that the Mac has been found be the residents. Return to scene: lights out, no acknowledgements of knocks until a kindly tenent is roused. We gain admittance to the space... no one, until distant voices are finally roused. Ah, reunion at last! All the printing to do tomorrow for The Opus Project presents Opus 66 (8pm, Saturday, June 30, Diablo Valley College Music Building, Viking Drive, Pleasant Hill, CA) could not be done without it...
Also edit page 17 new-edition Mice and Men, Op. 45: Act II, on the 93rd day of summer, high up 4 to 89 (ABCA of 89-91-85-89 last 4 days) --
Fairfield, 85
Martinez, 81
Pleasant Hill, 84
Walnut Creek, 80
Danville, 73
San Ramon, 79
Berkeley, 69
