Back from a Napa overnighter w/ youngest daughter Amanda, husband Tim, & the two grandkids, Talia & Demetri. Tim is (one guess!) a winemaker & fabulous cook. We feasted & guzzled & David’s moving slo-mo today. Listening to recent 2 CD set of the Tony Bennett/Bill Evans sessions. Sumptuous stuff!
Friday night I read at Bird & Beckett in SF w/ Clark Coolidge & legendary West Coast jazz bassist Don Prell. Bird & Beckett is a bookstore & cultural center in the Glen Park district, run by Eric Whittington & his son Nick. Bird & Beckett was where the Rockpile preview happened, energetically supported by the Bob Malone Trio
Just found out that visionary artist & pioneer light-show magician, Elias Romero, died Wednesday. He & his wife idell tarlow were my poetry workshop buddies in Mrs Walters nightschool class at L.A. City College c. 1954. Mrs Walters changed my perception of the poem by lending me the 1st volume of R. H. Blyth’s Haiku collection.
