March 24 - Substitutingly This Spring
Long-term,
early-morning
semi-high-speed,
fully-engaged
circuituous
commute,
indefinite-ending
substitution re the formerly-c.-but-now-definitely 8am Music Theory class begins for the absent, mysterious Monte Bairos -- last seen yesterday in official company, rumors fiduciary / judiciary / planetary.
With his students typically solidly grounded, though informationally at a leisurely pace, begin an accelerated program: Dictation / Keyboard-Solfege on Richard Rodgers's Sound of Music: Do-Re-Mi (just the first half of that which the late-morning class will perform), plus the Chords and Scales -- particularly A Natural and Harmony Minor -- of Quiz 5.
Not wishing, Woody Allenesquely, to lose an academically excellent parking spot,
take
in
Owen's
Fourth Semester class (with another substituting request, though short-term... just on March 26 for this group),
then back to the classic Theoreticians to finish up the Rodgers, continue Voice-Leading practice,
and appreciate Jennifer Chen's impressive Composition 2.
Head to Marin thereafter with
Carol,
to have the errant mirror replaced at Novato Toyota,
paper-grading-biding at Chevy's,
bouncing to the San Anselmo post box and
back,
returning
via errands
(including a quick voicemail fix at the local ATT Store) to prepare publication of the flute-piano Mary Variations: VIII. Mary Rag, on the 28th day of summer, high bouncing back up 4 degrees to 73 (high a mere 68 in San Rafael)...
