My friend Russell Brown will be performing my work fix•a•tion for clarinet and computer on a faculty recital at Valdosta State (GA) University tonight. I wish I could be there, but it's just too far to go and a terrible time in the semester to be away. Russell has performed this piece in my absence before, so I know it will go fine.

I'm in Turlock, CA, for a performance of my piano composition The Hole Through Which the White Light Shines at the Society of Composers Region VIII Conference at CSU Stanislaus. It was a good travel day, and I enjoyed the drive from Oakland. Tomorrow morning I will be driving down to Monterey to take a look around. It's only a couple of hours, and given that I'm such a big fan of John Steinbeck, it will be a treat to see his corner of California.
