Off we go again, with music by and from the time of Henry VIII, and other Renaissance gems,
for the Music Historians (plus Quiz 5),
on
the
183rd
day
of
summer,
high
up
a
tick
to
99 --
almost
the
century mark, highest of the month, and if no higher, consigning all the 100's of the year to May-August --
Fairfield, 96
Pleasant Hill, 98
Danville, 94
San Ramon, 90
Out
for
another DVCSR-to-Mt-Diablo jaunt thereafter,
now from what passes for Fifth Canyon
back to
The Point.
Again
a little farther forward
driving,
then winding down to the
valleys,
680
north
to
Solano,
against the
Sulfur Springs
Mountains,
a supply stop,
farther
on
80
through
the Lagoons, ultimately editing page 8 new-edition Mice and Men, Op. 45 (1992): Act III...
