David Huron's work on Humdrum was the other main influence, and my B.S. thesis advisor Barry Vercoe was the one who sent me their way. Now we've lost all but Walter, but their influence lives on and on.

I was so sad today to learn that Eleanor Selfridge-Field died 2 months ago. Eleanor's and Walter Hewlett's work at the Center for Computer-Assisted Research in the Humanities was the foundation on which MusicXML was built, and Beyond MIDI was the handbook. everloved.com/life-of/eleano…

RIP Michael Tilson Thomas. I was lucky beyond words to sing for MTT during four seasons in the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, and to be in the audience during his 25 amazing years as music director.

RIP Tom Stoppard. Arcadia is one of my favorite plays ever. I made sure to see Leopoldstadt on Broadway. But there are so many plays of his I haven't seen yet. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Bravi to everyone in Chess on Broadway @chessbway! What outstanding performances of this magnificent score. I thought the book also solved the main problem of the show by making the three leads more likable, softening the two men a little and making Florence more active.

Another fine review for Samson et Dalila, this time including the chorus: "Bruce Olstad’s chorus handles the material adeptly, and it’s a real treat for those who enjoy choral music." Just two more performances this weekend in Palo Alto: don't miss out. almanacnews.com/ae/2025/10/16/…

We're two weeks away from opening our @WestBayOpera production of Saint-Saëns' Samson et Dalila in Palo Alto. We have a fabulous cast, wonderful dancers, and a juicy chorus part. This great opera isn't done often - don't miss it! Tickets are available at wbopera.org/tickets-page-2…

RIP Jamshied Sharifi. He joined the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble right after I left at graduation, and helped take the group to some of its greatest heights. I was so happy when he became FJE director when Herb Pomeroy retired. His gifts of music will keep giving us joy.

@jeremydenk I laughed and laughed at this when we moved to California from Boston. Six months later we were exactly the same.
