Footprint, Minerva, Book Club

Ensemble Aubade initiated their Middle West tour in Indiana yester even, with a program including the Oxygen Footprint. They play it again at St Paul's UCC in Columbia, Illinois tonight.

My ancient schoolmate has written to say he'll print out and (at some point) give the brass quartet (trombones) version of Down Along the Canal to Minerva Road a reading.

As I read these two tasty volumes concurrently, it can be no mere coincidence that, at the end of Chapter One, Mr. Tirebiter hears Daphnis et ChloƩ on the radio.
