Alarmingly out of order


but begin


Music History, Op. 335
      I. "Prehistoric" Music
           1a. An Outer Space Introduction
                Richard Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra: Introduction (in Cinema)


since necessary for the required online course at Diablo Valley College.


And,

speaking of which,


head down there on an uncharacteristically unsettled Mayday,


high plummeting down 9 to 71 --


could be worse,


one supposes,


so still counting as the 53rd day of summer (Fairfield / Pleasant Hill, 77; Martinez, 73)


Admiring the virtual backgrounds on Zoom,


am finally able to join more substantively by receiving video on DVC Music Lab computer and doing audio via iPhone (receiving and sending vis a vis the latter, but still no camera availablity to be any more visually present than a mere icon).


Uploading the Welcome Video (i.e the R. Strauss celestial fantasy opus begun earlier) will probably be a challenge, but will leave that until tomorrow...
