In memory of Paul...what to do?

Stay up late and watch the Endeavour launch!

Or, tape it and watch it tomorrow. Mind the time change on your VCR or TiVo.

A classical detour

Last year, the Flock of Flutes ensemble of Walnut Creek, CA commissioned me to arrange two solo flute standards – “Cantabile e Presto” by Georges Enesco, and “Fantaisie” by Georges Hue – for solo flute and flute choir.

On Sunday evening, March 16th, the winner of the Flock’s Young Artist Competition, plus the whole flute choir led by director Monica Williams, will premiere the “Fantaisie” arrangement at Walnut Creek Civic Arts.

Come have a listen to this new addition to the flute choir repertoire! For tickets and information, call 925-943-5842.

Two months

The nightmare reality is now two months old. Or two months young, depending on how it relates to the total of the time I have left. 40 or 50 years, if I continue to do all those things you do to have a long life? Is that how long it will last?

No More Twist!

It's official -- my friend and collaborator Les Hutchins and I are combining our artistic urges and expertise to form a performance art duo.

We'll go by the moniker No More Twist! Fans of Beatrix Potter will recall where that name comes from...it's good to have a name that was called out desperately by the delirious and feverish.

Very likely your first chance to see and hear us will be at the 2008 Edgetone New Music Summit. We will play on the opening night of the festival, July 23rd, at the Community Music Center in San Francisco. You've all got to be there, because you're intregral to the performance. We're going to need you to ask uncomfortable, goofy, probing, and/or silly questions.

Stay tuned for full details.

Happy birthday, Paul

I'm so glad you were born.
But you are not here to celebrate...
I am way beyond heartbroken.
