back on the airplane,
initially rebound for Detroit,
then
mercifully
onward,
in
clear
skies
over
Utah
and
California,
the
golden
and
emerald
ridges
of
the
Coast
Ranges,
to
San
Francisco.
Back
in
the
car,
north on 101,
northwest 80 over the Bay Bridge to call on Carol re Opus 34,
reverse course,
back into the city for the second rehearsal of SF Composers Chamber Orchestra's Tales of the Wanderers concert,
including Martha Stoddard's Horse,
Allan Crossman's Impromptoodle, Mark Alburger's Sejong the Great (adding two bassoonist for keeps into the mix, initially due to absent pianist, + able substitute flutist),
Lisa Scola Prosek's Lucaria, Michael Kimbell's Golden Gate Barcarole, and
Stardust's A la recherche du danses perdues. Home late on the 226th day of summer, high down 4 to 80 (147th day at 80+) -- 64, 61, and 72 respectively in Philadelphia / Detroit / San Francisco...
