Notes from the Berkshires, Day 75
Bernstein Pavilion, 8.50 a.m.
Waiting for the rest of the team to arrive at Ozawa for a final coffee run together. Last night was the last supper:
L-R: Steve Carver, John Stothoff, Yours truly, Emily Townsend
A nice gathering, with much talk of the future.
This morning I tuned the B in Maple one last time. This is a lovely way to wind up, as it was also the first B I put my hands on here, way back some ten weeks and 70 or so posts ago. Speaking of posts, I just noticed that I have surpassed 50 pages of writing in the Word document containing this blog; it’s been a great way to keep track of this amazing experience, and I’m hopeful that the writing bug will continue to afflict me in the months to come, back in Illinois.
In the spirit of keeping track, this was my reading list for the summer:
• Shopclass as Soulcraft; An Inquiry Into The Value Of Work, by Matthew B. Crawford
• The Lenox School of Jazz, by Jeremy Yudkin
• Slippage, by Harlan Ellison
• Foucault’s Pendulum, by Umberto Eco
• Four Freedoms, by John Crowley
• Girl With Curious Hair, by David Foster Wallace
• Armageddon in Retrospect, by Kurt Vonnegut
I hope to write a little about some of these in a future entry.
This will most likely be my final post from Tanglewood, as I leave very early tomorrow morning and will be spending most of the balance of today in preparations.
