A packed hall, and a good time had by all, including performers and composers who we will certainly hear from again soon, including where-would-we-be-without-her


Harriet March Page, and Allan Crossman and



Erling Wold.


Before all this,


make final preparations for the show,


such as a


local shearing,


commuting


through


the


typical


North /


East Bay splendor, and


score reproduction at Berkeley's Copyworld,


before making


the jump


across the water.
