Sub for lunch and sub for Kurt Erikson's Music Lit course, kinda giving them a blitz review in one hour of what I more-or-less cover for a week in my own class -- ah, the wonders of the new laptop (have reconciled to use iPhoto, since other program still crashes on occasion).
After recording orchestrations of Waiting for Godot 31-32, blitz off to classy Sausalito to rendezous with old high school buddy, fine musician, and general crazy guy Brian Gibson, who is out here from PA touring with his 14-year-old son and new girlfriend, all very nice, and having a good time, impressed with scenery and the lack of summer rain, as well they should be. Bit of talk about the sad fiery news from Tahoe basin....
We do Sausalito things like meet at the Elephant statue park and wark along the waterfront -- a fairly balmy, not-to-windy evening, so Hurricane Gulch mercifully does not live up to its name. Full moon comes up over SF Bay with the city shining brightly beyond, and life is good as we have pizza (deja) outside with a bit of live music. Pictures of recent Goat Hall Productions on the laptop and a new album from Brian, reminiscences and news.
Home via San Anselmo and gifts in the post box, so all's well....
