7.205 music, press, lecture

Wednesday 06/24/2026

Took an early walk for coffee. The at 9am met with Sandy in the music room to try singing a duet on the Carter-Cash song “Jackson”. It went ok, so later we told John, who is organizing the talent show for the end of next month, that we would do the bit. Later in the day after email negotiations I booked 2pm Saturday for another rehearsal with Mary along as a vocal coach.

At 1pm I joined Bert and two other Davids to talk to a reporter from the Palo Alto Weekly. She wants to do a story on how us old geeks use AI. We pontificated and opined for the nice young lady for an hour. Maybe in a month there will be a story on us.

Joanne and I went for a walk later, so I ended the day with almost 13K steps and 5.3 miles. At 7:30 there was a lecture by an amateur biologist (retired physician and medical researcher) on how animals use sound. He had some good videos of birds vocalizing different ways, and slo-mo infrared shots of bats doing aerobatics to catch moths. Coyotes and Pumas and so on. Nice talk.
