Farewell to the DVC Summer 2014 morning Music Historians -- another fine, fun group!
Wrapping up
proceedings
with a
final forward
commute
and make-ups quizzes,
saving Carol's work in the lab,
dealing with other acadmic matters over lunch,
followed by
an impressive delay up 80 by the North Lagoon Mountains: traffic stopped dead, due to a police action...
meriting a backtracking over the freeway to a Pleasants Valley / Foothill / Alamo runaround, composing page 13 of Sex and the Species. More fevered score-study, and by the end of the work day have sent out
