On air in Lake County as featured composer, interviewed on Carolyn Hawley's program,
while Duo Sonata No. 1 ("Hyphenated"), Op. 22, is performed in its vibraphone and cello incarnation, by Camilla Dos Santos and Cristian Palermo in Asuncion, Paraguay. Wow!
For
the
local
show,
bomb
on
up --
via
Napa
(29's
Eucalyptus
Row
to
12's
Domaine Carneros and the
Border
Barns)
and
Sonoma
(via
the
Plaza,
Arnold
Drive,
the
poetically
appelated
Jack Londonian
Valley
of the
Moon)-- to
Ms. Hawley's
home-away-from-home outside of Santa Rosa.
Soon, with her amazingly at the wheel,
past Petrified Forest
to
a
Calistoga
petrol
stop,
then
128,
lateral
across
Tubbs
Road,
back to 29,
now much
farther north,
over
Mt. St. Helena Pass
at
Robert Louis Stevenson State Park,
and
down
into
the
semi-
arid
settings
Lake,
Mt.
Konocti
looming
and Lakeport beckoning,
dropping off some of Carolyn's visual work
at the
county fair.
Stroll
about
the
viewful
lakefront
park,
and
on
Main
Street,
before
entering
the
back
upstairs
studio
entrance.
Last-minute
preparations
and
relaxation,
then the
interview and playlist, excerpts from
Psalm 6
The Twelve Fingers
Symphony No. 1
Camino Real
Abducted by Aliens
A nice, thoroughly idiosyncratic, program,
and
we
head
north
and
east
to
Carolyn's
country
place
(now
currently
rented),
with
its
spectacular
views
of
Clear Lake, Konocti, and Hogback Ridge.
Breaking camp,
back down to 20 and west,
past Robinson Rancheria to the
Mendocino
Highands
and
Ukiah,
picking up a
Carolyn friend,
off
to
dinner with her and
another couple at a
fine
Mexican spot,
then
homeward
at
the
end
of a long day,
high up two tics to 95,
on the 155th day of summer (104rd at 80+, 51st at 90-or-beyond) --
Lakeport 98
Ukiah 96
Asuncion 84
