Actually, my mother's brother, Bob Commanday, whose music reviews you may have read in SF Chronicle, when you were in Oakland, although he had retired from that post by the time I remember joining this list and seeing your posts and some mention of Oakland.
Sure, I remember Commanday, but more from the SF Classical Voice website than from the Chronicle.
I think I may have met him once, too. Wasn't he the director of Oakland Symphony Chorus way back when? OSC was my first musical contact when I came to California as a callow youth in the mid-80s. That was during the Joe Liebling era, but several years later there was some sort of anniversary event in which several former directors each conducted a piece for a sing-along concert. I think Commanday was one of them ... unless I'm getting him mixed up with someone else.
