The pit for BAT BOY


Chris Schlagel (I played Hairspray with him) and Erik Daniels (I did Tommy with him) are the keyboardists, and Elaine Lord (World's Greatest Drummer) is on the traps.

Last night at RH Phillips Winery


I played a wedding reception today at the winery famous for its Toasted Head label with the rearing bear on it. The winery, I learned, is going out of business and this was their very last event.

Bat Boy at CSUS


I fixed the programming for the keyboards at Sac State today.
Isn't this a great poster?

The return of head shops


Positioning themselves for the coming legalization of marijuana.
When I first moved to Sacramento, the Tower chain actually had a store, Tower Posters, that was partly a head shop.

Antonio and a girlfriend

I visited Matias Bombal for the first time since the death of his father Antonio, who was my tuning teacher. We looked through many of Antonio's old pictures, including this one of him and an old girlfriend.
If you have Facebook, you can see a whole lot of the photos here.

While at Cache Creek Casino....


...tuning for Lea Salonga, I noticed this truck in the parking lot. It's from Wisconsin and has a Packers logo on it.

At Willie's Burgers, they tie up their tacos with a bow


And it was probably the best chicken taco I've ever eaten.
