Also spent some time yesterday casting about for a venue for the third Halfway Mark rehearsal, and was basically totally unsuccessful -- was able to touch base with Midge Heath (whose talented son Stephen sung I'm a Cranky... and You Ain't Seen from Street Songs at Non-Taxing Non-Toxic years
before at
Dominican University) who now works at First Presbyterian Church of San Rafael (where I was Music Director for several years) and secured the space as a backup (too far away from the central SF Bay Area to be pleasing to ensemble, plus prohibitively expensive with legal hoops as well).
Then, this morning, Paul Dresher returns voice mail from yesterday, and saves my rehearsal life by the use of his Oakland space at a reasonable rate -- dancing around the house for several minutes in glee seemed to be the proper response...
With that done, was able to contact all (some 40 performers...) via email with details and updates, plus mailing odds and ends of music out to wind players....
Also learned how to manage photographs in HP Photosmart Studio, inserting pictures into the May 2007 issue of 21st-Century Music....
