Retirement party for Mark Steidel,
a great soul of the Diablo Valley College Music Department,
whose great cheer and savvy will be missed.
His influence upon so many, including present company (particularly vis a vis his founding of the great electronic studio, and just overall-excellent role model), is incalculable.
The festivities are held at Dick Kamprath's comfortable spread,
adjacent to semi-open space,
with a crowd of well-wishers including
Michael Aczon
Mark Alburger
Glen Appell
John Bendich
Bruce Cook
Owen Lee
Daniel Lewis
Bret Peppo
Carol Reynolds
Steve Sage
Ed Trujillo
Bill Wolter
Matt Zebley
and many others.
High 75 in Martinez,
84 closer to home,
on the 94th day of summer, 30th at 80+, composing page 21 Sinfonia, Op. 241,
in counterpoint to earth-shattering videos...
