July 12 - Carried Away


Second round of the GOAT HALL PRODUCTIONS Fresh Voices XIV Festival of New Works: Taken, at San Francisco Community Music Center, again with


Helena Michelson's It Isn't Music That...,


John G. Bilotta's  


Rosetta's Stone,


Richard Bagwell's  


To Hell with Heroes,


Aldan Jenks's Ghost Songs,


Yvonne Freckman's


Close Encounters of the Hillbilly Kind, and


Mark Alburger's


Abducted by Aliens --


and a good time is


seemingly had


by


all...


Upon 


return


from


the


merry-go-round


of west


and




east, begin Op. 229 -- Sex and the Species (troped on Pierre Boulez's Le Marteau sans Maitre) -- on the 121st day of summer, high 91 (71st 80-or-better, 33rd 90+), though quite spring-fall cool in the city, down three points to 69.
