News of the week of June 27, 2023

We played:

• Purcell, Cakes and Ale
• New Providence
• Dowland: A shepherd in a shade, Come, yee heavy states of night
• Arcadelt, Margot labourez les vignes
• Lassus, Margot labourez les vignes
• Entre vous qui aymés
• Smith, Slaves are they that heap up mountains

We will not be meeting this coming week. You can’t get to my part of Cambridge from anywhere else on the 4th of July, and if you do get there, you can’t get away until after midnight. You can read in the next day’s paper how many tens or hundreds of thousands of people tried to drive by my house to get to and from the concert/fireworks.

In general, we meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm. Unless otherwise decided, we will be meeting at 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA. Let me know if you want to come.

The picture above demonstrates that I now have a bannister up to the second (European first) floor. This was supposed to be the final item before applying for the occupancy permit, although there seems to be another inspection (of the building permit work) before we can apply for the occupancy permit. But the TODO list I set up for my contractor is getting pretty small. The major item is the air conditioner – the HVAC guy seems to have disappeared.
