Sounds like great fun, Light-hearted ones!! I wish I'd known it was on. How do we find out?

Going back a few posts, I wrote about the Zoom launch of the cd for the opera 'The Parting', libretto David Mason, music Tom Cippulo. And now, I've just found out this morning that the entire thing is now on YouTube! Here it is:

CD release party for The Parting

The whole thing is worth listening to. The insights of the creative artists involved are really inspiring. Near the beginning, at the 7 minute mark, Davey speaks about his process, followed by Tom -- and these two are a great team, and what they say will move you.

The performance that inspired this reeeeeeally long blank verse poem by someone whose name rings a bell is being re-broadcast at 8pm PDT next Sunday night, July 5.

The chorale only comes on for the Bernstein piece, which starts about 10pm. Very inconvenient for Americans in other time zones, I know, and my San Diego Symphony insider says it's very unlikely that there will be on-demand streaming of this afterward. Sorry. Anyway, I thought some of the Brits might enjoy it on Monday morning.

Jahja Ling, conductor
Jean-Yves, Thibaudet, piano
Henry Nelson, boy soprano
San Diego Master Chorale
BARBER: Overture to The School for Scandal
GERSHWIN: Piano Concerto in F
COPLAND: Appalachian Spring Suite
BERNSTEIN: Chichester Psalms

I have successfully moved to Seattle. I wrote a poem again for the first time in two months.

Today marks two years on the wagon for me.

(it's also Mary Meriam's birthday. So happy birthday Mary, I'm raising a glass of apple juice!)

Ditto to Julie's post above, Mark and Mary. Cheers my dears!

My Good News is that, having missed out on a big party for a significant birthday in July that had been planned, I spent the money that would have gone on that and bought some really lovely new garden furniture.

It's that rattan material in light grey - a kind of interwoven plastic that's weather-proof (and quite expensive, ...but hey, I'm worth it ); our old stuff of the same type is still good after many years of exposure to the elements, but it's faded and I wanted to jazz up the garden anyway!

We've been lucky with the weather, mostly, since lockdown and since we were allowed to have a few people in the garden I took full advantage of it. I don't recall ever having spent so much time out there, or having so many al fresco meals. Autumn is upon us but we might still get an ''Indian Summer''. I live in hope.

Jayne
