October 23 - A Round of Cautions


 With the late success of San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra


Circling!,



Emma Turnbull encourages Harriet et moi to watch Davis Community Presbyterian Church service


online,



which provides us a little extra time to upload

and

Bassoon Concerto ("Grandmother"), Op. 120  (December 12, 2004)

Central


Valley



to the Church for rehearsal of

A fine rehearsal!


And,


upon the urgings of Juan and


Emma,


Harriet and I


embark on an


adventure

via


I-80


northeast


over the Yolo Causeway to


Sacramento,



then


J,


to


seek


neurological


advice


in


the


Emergency


Ward


of

Dignity


Health /

Mercy


Catholic



Hospial.


But


it's


a


long


wait,


through an entire Huell Howser Joshua Tree episode,


but at last


we


are


finally


ushered


into


the


backstage


prospects,



where it is determined that


a full set of tests should be


given overnight.


Upon this news,


Harriet is rescued by Juan and Emma as a support team to ensure that she is able to navigate her way through Sacramento and homeward in safety, while I am wheeled about for the first barrage of investigations...

on this 233rd day of summer, high plummeting down 16 to 72...

Davis, 71
Sacramento, 72



perhaps yearning a bit for

Johann Hermann Schein (1586-1630)
     Banchetto Musicale, Suite No 3 (1617)


Gioachino Rossini (1797-1868)
     La Gazza Ladra Overture (1817)


Joachim Raff (1822-1882)
     Orchestral Suite "Aus Thungen" (1877),
