The brass shall sound, and we'll raise our glasses -- Happy New Year! -- with the saga continuing at markalburger2018.blogspot.com...
The day --
57th and final of fall, high down 4 to 60 --
begins with errands
(including sufficient libations for the festive eve),
and
a big push re editing new-edition Symphony No. 1 ("It Wasn't Classical…"), Op. 61 (1998): I. Allegro con brio: pages 31-40...
part of this accomplished while taking in a nice pre-centennial celebration re Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990), finale-ing (as we have) with Candide (1956): Make Our Garden Grow.
Towards the appointed hour, televised apparently exclusively Spanish-language coverage of Pacific-Standard-Time celebrations --
are we having a good time yet? --
Yes!
