  1. Hi John, I’m impressed and love them both with the different mental views (imagination) they take me to. Both marine scenes and places come to mind.

    String and piano have always been my favorite combination along with solos. Violin was a family tradition but I secretly wanted the piano.

    Another subject. You mentioned getting together and reminiscing about the time – long ago- when our work overlapped. A couple of suggestions if you are still interested. Do you like walking? Some of the trails and places the PVPLC has to offer might appeal. The Interpretive Center by the lighthouse across from Golden Cove Center or a place I volunteer/docent, is at White Point Nature Center, straight down Western to the end & meets the sea & slide area that no longer goes through to Gaffey. Several trails and Native Plant Gardens. My phone # is (805) 674-2609 if you want to contact me. If not, I certainly understand and not a problem. Been a long time and many roads to paraphrase.

    1. I’m happy you liked those pieces! And yes, let’s get together. I’ve been busy lately with music and family things going on. I think the White Point Nature Center would work best. I was there with Ellen a few months ago. We live above Western in RPV, so it’s nearby. Let me know a good day/time for you, and we’ll work it out.
