Up 7:30.
Read Toufic.
Coffee.
Form notes, 10 R&B songs.
Exercise.
Walk 10:15.
Worked 10:45-1. Sent graf.
Lunch. Watched a couple of odd, comically animated video histories about the basics of the French Revolution.
Finished the Toufic. Underwhelmed.
Listened to Carla Bley, Musique Mechanique. Don’t think I’ve played it straight through - enjoyed Roswell Rudd’s vocal turn on “At Midnight.”
Phone battery was out. When I charged it, I had a message, about 2 hrs earlier, from Dr. Singh telling me my dad would be released today. He was already home when I called. Says he’s shaky on his feet from having only minimal pays. therapy/walking in the hospital, but otherwise, as well as can be expected. Home nurse will be monitoring the sodium and blood pressure medications. Not much else I can do now other than check in.
2nd walk. Dinner. Listened to the first side of an old Bobby Short album (s/t) on Atlantic.
Wrote mixing notes on “Still In Error.” I song to go — I forgot about “illusions.”
Started Ben Ratliff’s Coltrane book in the evening.
Lights out 11:30.
