Second staging rehearsal of Act I Waiting for Godot, playing Estragon, as Meghan was unable to attend (we'll catch up Wednesday). Poor Kat as Lucky had to spend a lot of time with a large orange extension chord around her neck, practicing comically/gracefully falling while holding a computer bag and a stool -- what we do for art.... Turns out Lucky's song can pretty much be done at the manic tempo, assuming we're not too fussy about diction (actually, more like downright cavalier)...
Lunch with Harriet at Connecticut Yankee, a cataloguing of music for the next SFCCO concert, then a GH board meeting casual enough that I could follow some of it lying down.
A walk-on-the-beach, just south of San Pedro Mountain, just like in the singles ads, then H and I had to pass up two restaurants before settling on a third
(Aperto, on this the anniversary of our first time out).
Finally, David Conte's America Tropical, with fine conducting from John Kendall Bailey and similar expertise from Keisuke Nakagoshi, who has been our Goat Hall pianist over seven years (including premieres of Henry Miller in Brooklyn, Animal Opera, Camino Real, Pied Piper, plus performances of Little Prince), and Jon, who we hope will have a piece ready for Composers Chamber Orchestra. Report will appear eventually here and in 21st-Century Music....
