As today was the first
day to turn in an order for the upcoming 2001-02 season at Cal Performances,
I was right on top of things and ready to be the first to order. As you can
see, no one else was nutty enough to get there early that morning...and even
better, I got free parking, as the meter I found was out of service.
Later that night, I returned to Zellerbach for an incredibly good show by
Dawn Upshaw and Richard Goode. Richard has been more or less universally
recognized as one of the truly great pianists of our time, and Dawn is no
slouch of a soprano by any means.
As the performers walked off-stage at the end of the first set, I was amused
to take a picture of RG looking my way...I guess he spotted the camera and
smiled for me!
Unfortunately, you won't see any decent performance pictures, since the lighting
was rather dim, and the shots I took came out woefully blurry and over-exposed.
