• Baskin School of Engineering
• McHenry Library
• Global Village Cafe
• Bauru: Ham, tomatoes, melted mozzarella cheese & oregano (we chose the whole wheat baguette)
• Acerola smoothie: Amazon cherry, banana, strawberries & OJ
• Now operated by Amazon Juices UCSC
• Features pastries by Kelly's French Bakery
• Noticed the newspaper displays had gone dark
• Liked the regional topographic maps
• Walked through the UCSC Department of Music building, to view the practice rooms:
• Older, but well-maintained equipment
• Several practice rooms occupied, but many free
• Yamaha Clavinova CLP-122S Digital Piano
• Year of manufacture: 1992
• Features: 
• Master volume slider
• Reverb
• OFF ............When no reverb effect is selected (no REVERB indicator is lit), a special natural damper effect is applied to the piano voices. This simulates the natural resonance of an acoustic piano’s strings and sound board when the damper pedal is pressed.
• ROOM ........This setting add a continuous reverb effect to the sound that is similar to the type of acoustic reverberation you would hear in a medium-size room
• HALL 1 ......For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a medium-size concert hall
• HALL 2 ......For a really spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall
• COSMIC ....The COSMIC reverb effect produces an echo-plus-reverb sound that can add life and animation to your music
• MIDI/Transpose: Allows access to the Clavinova’s Transpose function (to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down), keyboard touch sensitivity adjustment, and MIDI functions
• Voice Selectors: 
• Piano 1
• Piano 2
• Clavinova tone
• E. piano
• Harpsichord
• Organ
• Pedals:
• Soft/Sostenuto (Left) Pedal
• Damper (Right) Pedal
• Playing the Demonstration Tunes
• Press the C7 key (right-most) while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button
• Press a selector to start playback of the corresponding tune, featuring the voice normally selected by that voice selector button
• Tunes:
• [PIANO 1] .................. “Grande valse brillante” by F. F. Chopin
• [PIANO 2] .................. “Lake Louise” by Yuhki Kuramoto
• [CLAVINOVA TONE] “Rêverie” by Debussy
• [HARPSICHORD] ..... “Invention 3” by J. S. Bach
• [ORGAN] ................... “Symphonie pour orgue No.5” by Widor
• Dual Mode: allows selecting and configuring two voices at once
• Touch sensitivity configuration: Hard/Medium/Soft
• Transposition:  
• Shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones
• “Transposing” the pitch of the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist
• Pitch control: Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Clavinova over a ±50-cent range in approximately 1.2-cent intervals
• Yamaha Upright Acoustical Piano
• Serial Number 1213490
• Indicates Hamamatsu, Japan, as the manufacture location, in 1971-1972 (?)
• Found arrangement, in the piano bench, of Étude Op. 25, No. 7 (Chopin), "alternatively known as the "Cello" due to the prominent melody played in the left hand"
• Great Meadow Bike Path
• Passed the UCSC Center for Agroecology & Sustainable Food Systems (CASFS)
• Service road: had a number of 40 yard dumpster containers, for various materials: plastics, carpets, metals
• Arboretum, through the back gate, walked into the gift shop
• Smelled rich foliage smells, reminding me of the ravine near my childhood home
• Up the hill, to Oakes College
• Passed a number of signs: Collective Museum, the campus-wide art project by Portland-based artist group Public Doors and Windows (PDW); we sat at Ken's Bench
• Koi fish
• Porter Slug Grill and Cafe: open, but we overheard someone asking about something unrelated, and we though it was closed...not a big deal, since we needed cash and the ATM seemed down
• Walked through Kresge College, to Owl's Nest, but closed
• Back to McHenry BSOE
• Drove to Marini's, on Swift, for ice cream--noticed the Ferris Wheel model working, but the marbles kept falling off
