And, of course, happy 89th birthday to the late Italian composer Luciano Berio. I never met him but I have two one degree of separation threads that tie me to him. In the mid-60s, Berio was teaching at Mills College in Oakland and my future composition prof Glenn Glasow was teaching at Cal State Hayward. The two of them used to meet at a piano bar on Oaklands Lakeshore Ave to drink Scotch and hear Jean Drake tickle the ivories. I took piano lessons from Ms. Drakes husband Ray. This collection of folk song arrangements was commissioned by Mills and given its world premiere there. https://youtube/watch?v=Q_DpEaKsFm4
