Colin Blogs: Music I'm listening to: Two San Francisco Symphony Concerts
http://colintalcroft.blogspot.com/2015/04/music-im-listening-to-two-san-francisco.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. Music I'm listening to: Two San Francisco Symphony Concerts. I recently attended two excellent San Francisco Symphony concerts. The Symphony performed with Pablo Heras-Casado conducting and Igor Levit at the piano on Thursday, April 17 at The Green Music Center and I heard the April 24 concert at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, with guest conductor Vasily Petrenko on the podium. The soloist was Sa Chen, who performed Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. Her There are so man...

Colin Blogs: The Cocktail Glass Collection: Fagiani's in Napa
http://colintalcroft.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-cocktail-glass-collection-fagianis.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. The Cocktail Glass Collection: Fagiani's in Napa. Another neon cocktail glass. This one at Fagiani's in Napa (813 Main St., in an interesting old building). The glass here appears to be a ready-made, as I've seen ones of identical shape before (in fact, the last example I posted appears to use the same glass or a very similar one- Mario and John's Tavern, in Petaluma). Still, the effect with the Fagiani's script is not bad. To see others in this series of photographs, click on the.

Monday, April 6, 2015. Rain: Morning Showers and More to Come (April 5-7, 2015). Early morning rain on the 5th added 0.20 inches to our total for the year. Not much, but better than nothing. The forecast is for possibly rain today (the 6th) and for thunderstorms tomorrow. Let it rain. As of the morning of April 6, our total for the 2014-2015 rain year stands at 23.10 inches, which is about ten inches below normal. Labels: 2014-2015 rainy season. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Colin Blogs: Art I'm Looking At: "Ain't Natural" at Hammerfriar Gallery in Healdsburg
http://colintalcroft.blogspot.com/2015/05/art-im-looking-at-aint-natural-at.html
Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Art I'm Looking At: "Ain't Natural" at Hammerfriar Gallery in Healdsburg. I attended the opening of the latest show at Hammerfriar Gallery. In Healdsburg on May 2. The show, called "Ain't Natural," brings together four superb collage artists working in the Bay Area- Jenny Honnert Abell, John Hundt, Sherry Parker, and Scott Wilson. Collage unites the four artists. John Hundt seems to work exclusively with engraved book illustrations. Scott Wilson's work is also slightly disturbing.
