July 9 - Covering the Subject



Another deliriously beautiful day,


the


fog


hanging


over


the


Sulfur Springs Mountains all the way to


Diablo Valley College,


where Music Historians


gather for a romp through the


Classical Era, looking ahead to the Romantic (a typewritten version of above may be found as part of the July 5 entry).


Duck


out


towards


Berkeley


thereafter,


arriving


a little early at the


Music Library, but eventually gaining access, and discovering that the making of photocopies has gone high-tech: now scanners, computer screens, guest cards that must be activated not on these computers but the ones in the lobbies.  Takes longer to arrange for the work to be done than to do the actual task at hand, nevertheless, finally all is accomplished, and much is learned re Igor Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements in the meantime.


From


here


wind through


the


Claremont Highlands,


to


Sheli


Nan's


artful


and


viewful


aerie.


Like


even-aged


fire


pines,


the


houses


in


the


community


all


date back


only to the time of the 1990's firestorm.


Nice place


to visit...


Meanwhile,


we talk of ambitious plans for the future,


and look forward to whatever transpires.


There's time yet to pick up belated June 2012 21st-Century Music Journals from Copyworld,


and


make it


over to


Marin, with paper grading at Celia's, errands, and financial greetings at the post box --


before whisking


north on


101 through


familiar landscapes,


east


on


37,


and


northeast


again


homeward


to


take up the typical remaining musical tasks of the day:
