Someone once told me that the San Francisco Bay Area has the longest time lag between the longest day of the year (the summer solstice, or June 21) and the hottest day of the year. Wikipedia says: Among major U.S. cities, San Francisco has the coldest daily mean, maximum, and minimum temperatures for June, July […]. Monday, October 15, 2012 19:23.

John Clare's Composing Thoughts LIVE. Attend a live discussion with composers and performers of our time! Friday, September 2, 2011. 9/11: Judith Lang Zaimont.

John Clare's Composing Thoughts LIVE. Attend a live discussion with composers and performers of our time! Monday, September 5, 2011. How has 9-11 affected me? Overall, I think 9-11 has caused the U.S. to put security as its number one priority – even with the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as natural borders! 8217; I have not written any pieces grappling with 9-11 and its aftermath; maybe it is not yet time for me to do so.

My first thoughts of 9/11 are the literal cliche of "OMG, what's that on TV. is it a movie? Then the immediate thought everyone is pondering in these guest blogs- what shall I compose about this? To Arise in a Prayer of Hope" : Prelude in F Sharp Major. I, like everyone else, was still in a very strange state of sadness, mourning and edginess. ...
