What an interesting day! I took an 8:00 AM ferry out of Hyannis to Martha's Vineyard where I performed John Williams' music for the film "Jaws" while the film was screened for a large out-door audience. I got back home at 1:00 AM beyond exhaustion, but I had quite an experience.

| This Osprey nest was high up on a pole right next to the field |

the "venue"
Everything about the production was first class, from the huge LED screens (three of them) to the
air-conditioned changing rooms, toilets, and tents with sofas and tables for relaxing.
I had dinner at the famous "Black Dog" tavern

| Back-stage stuff |

There were two monster screens, one on each side of the stage. They showed close-ups of the
orchestra, conductor, etc.
