(As I was waking up, my clock radio was playing, and the piece sounded like it must be a bassoon concerto. It was in B-flat, which I believe the Mozart one is in, but I can't say I recognized it, and maybe it was just a passage of something featuring the bassoon. Maybe I can find out what they were playing and if any of the announcements beforehand were triggering elements of the dream.)

It’s always wonderful to wake up to a bassoon playing.

DR Jane - didn't get that far. When I put on a sneaker, it was still quite irritated, and so I didn't go.

I did, however, get in 10,000 steps walking in place today! In my stocking feet.

Sorry, however, excellent job on managing 10,000 steps. I don't suppose you have any good sandals for walking outside, not that I ever want to walk very far in mine.

I think there are at least two modern Storm Cloud Cantata recordings - the piece was also used in the original Man Who Knew Too Much. Of course, I love the remake, which is why it adorns the cover of Benjamin Kritzer. Yes, two recordings of the Storm Clouds Cantata. One on a Chandos CD of film music by Arthur Benjamin and Leighton Lucas, which has washy sound but is otherwise fine, and one on a Hitchcock album, conducted by John Mauceri - I have that somewhere but haven't heard it in ages - I know that one is a live recording.

I told my brother Kent that I was too busy to come over to his house today to visit with him and his wife and her sister. So he had a solution......they would all come over here.

It was not a perfect resolution, but I guess I'm having company today.

That is nice of them. I hope you aren't too busy for the visit-lol

I spent the afternoon making pasta sauce. I think I added too much red pepper.

For every action there is a reaction. I've upgraded my computer to Mac OS10 Catalina, which is as far as an 8-year-old computer will upgrade, and I've lost all of my emails and address book, which was on SeaMonkey. In the past, you could override Mac's rejection and download SeaMonkey, but not - ha ha ha! - in Caralina. Damn.

And why do I have SeaMonkey, you may ask. Because when mu Mac man set me up in 2001, he made Netscape my primary search engine and my email was on it. SeaMonkey replaced Netscape. Now I don't know what to do.

Here's a live performance "Storm Clouds Cantata" -- and I didn't look further, there might be more:

I was slow to upgrade to Catalina because I waited for the all clear from those who have gone before me. The main issue was the musical application Apple MainStage, in case there were glitches as yet unresolved. Of course, I'm not exactly running around using MainStage these days. But you never know. I'll take a decent keyboard gig if it comes knocking at my door between now and when we begin rehearsing the holiday show

(Actually, I tried to take one. Curtain Call in Stamford is doing 1776 between now and then. I never go around asking if I may play a certain thing, but I couldn't resist, especially since I know the MD. But he's playing the keyboard book and has no need for a second pair of hands.)

Fortunately, I can say that the upgrade went fine and I probably only had a little bit of detritus to clean up. It also only took an hour or so -- but I was only coming from Mojave, the OS before it. My MacBook Pro is a 2015, which is one of the favorites of musicians because it still has those little things called "ports", and the 2012-2015s are just a real stable implementation of Macs. So this one's six years old, and it'll remain to be seen how far in OS's they let it go.

Well, thank you, Google! I looked up "Override MacOS Catalina," and one site suggested I open my applications in Finder, not the Mac HD and click on the desired application there. Well, it worked! My SeaMonkey 2.53.8.1 is running again.

BK, that Mauceri album is on YouTube, along with two other recordings of the Storm Clouds Cantata, including one conducted by Elmer Bernstein. I'm very happy at hte moment.

Dear Readers, my very dear friend Peter Foley has been fighting cancer for over eight years. It began as an eye tumorm and it's been under control with treatment until this year. He's been in hospital for a week and I'm very worried about him. I'm sure he, his wife Kate, and daughter Grace could use some super healthy vibes.

~~~Vibes of All Kinds for Peter Foley and Family!!~~~
