November 7 - Silver and Bold

Finish editing of Psalm 38 "Domine, ne in furore", take a


brief


financial-and-supply



run, embed videos at markalburgermusichistory.blogspot.com up to Samuel Barber (b. 1910),



hit the local Mexican spot with Harriet after her turn at being out-and-about, and do the day's videos as the studio/movie versions of



Cats, Dogs, and Divas: XVI. The Proposition and



XVII. Crazy.

November 5 - Carried Away

Harriet out in rehearsals and meetings all day, and on the homefront in another interval extending our lease on summer, get carried away with videos, doing studio-movies for Cats, Dogs, and Divas: XII. Abortion



XIII. Said a Little Prayer,



XIV. At the Hospital, and



XV. Mother.

November 4 - The Fabulous Country

Page 3 of Psalm 37 edits and Quiz 12 for the Theoreticians -- Voice Leading, with excerpts drawn from Paul McCartney, Leonard Bernstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Roger Waters, and Willie Dixon. Barrage through the backroads



and



thence



to



Marin's



Celia's



for paper grading (bit of catch-up, but still behind),



post-box with multiple greetings,



beyond



north



and



west



through



various



viewsheds,



picking (more gerundic constructions?) up the slack with studio-movie Cats, Dogs, and Divas videos of the evening (not) as



X. Shakespeare Is Such a Genius and



XI. A Father Can Be a Bother.

November 3 - Shakespearean Madness

A second page of Psalm 37 edits and studio-video for Cats, Dogs, and Divas: VIII. Condescension, Scorn, followed by Andrew Lloyd-Webber's Hosanna from Jesus Christ Superstar for dictation, keyboard-solfege, and board harmony (followed by impressive student compositions... also true yesterday... a lot of days, actually....). Beyond, it's China Garden paper-grade extravaganza and the night Rock History class all the way from Bob Dylan (b. 1941) to Jimi Hendrix (b. 1942) -- the leisurely pace of a specialty course -- and a second CDD movie: IX. Lady MacBeth of the Red Light District.

November 2 - A's and B's

Begin Psalm 37 edits, allowing enough time to head to



Town Hall and



vote for the Democrats of our choice, greeting the locals,



and



dashing off to Diablo for dictation / board-harmony on Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms (what a coincidence), picking up the new glasses at



Site for Sore Eyes, lunching at



Elephant (check the vertical lines in the neon -- definitely something up with the camera)



Bar, with paper grading until the evening class from Giacomo Puccini to W.C. Handy and Arnold Schoenberg -- leapfrogging to Charles Ives, Bela Bartok, Igor Stravinsky, Edgar Varese, and King Oliver... looking ahead to



20th-Century Music II. Returning (awful lot of gerundic constructings, after an awful lot of run-on sentence... so what else is new), there are videos to do at some point:



Cats, Dogs, and Divas: VI. Not and



VI. Make a Man a God.
