Another

the
Music Historians for late-19th-century madness,
culminating in Quiz 8 (Romantic II).

An

viewful
680,

... continuing,
partly over
Huell Howser's California's Gold (2002) climb of Half Dome (recalling my own related experience of same, way back in the 90's), the editing of new-edition Mice and Men, Op. 45 (1992): Act II (page 31) and finishing composition (10 pages total) re Dan Cook Canyon: Six Tethered Tales 'Round Danville, CA, Op. 285 (2018): I.
