Resident Association meeting, followed by the Transition Committee at 11. When that broke up at 12, I scooted downstairs, grabbed my to-go lunch that I had ordered, and drove to FOPAL. Spent about 3 hours doing the post-sale cleanup and processing 4 boxes of donations.
Back home by 3:30. At 5:30 met with Joanne and we drove to the Stanford campus where we had a quick supper in the student union food court, and then attended a concert, part of the annual Stanford Jazz Workshop. The performer was a local girl, Christina Galisantus, daughter of a Stanford musicologist. She played piano and sang, and led a quintet of bass, guitar, sax and drums. They did mainly the music of Joni Mitchell.
The concert was pretty good, but somewhat spoiled for me by the audio. The singer’s voice was not reproduced right, it was like there was a low-pass filter that rolled off all the high frequencies. That takes out all the parts of words that make them comprehensible, all the sibilants. So we couldn’t understand any of the lyrics. No it is not my hearing. Anyway, I give it a C+ score. Good instrumentalists, poor vocals.
