Hi Mark,
I don't know how interesting this stuff is to the list in general
but, yes you remember Bob correctly, and he still lives in Piedmont, CA.

Actually, my mother's brother, Bob Commanday, whose music reviews

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.
