This past weekend we got quite a treat when we followed Jon up to Calistoga for a private concert at Jessica’s Barn. The concert was held in … a barn. The sound was not bad considering the venue. We also got to meet the Farallon Quintet. I had a flash issue which caused the group …

LA Labor Day weekend 2014
We haven’t been down to see my Ma in awhile and Jon was playing in Irvine. So what better time to drive down. We arrived late Saturday with just enough time for a quick change before heading to the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. Jon was nice enough to get us VIP parking which made the walk from the parking …
Piano Shooter
Jon has a concert in San Jose this weekend so he was nice enough to let me shoot a few pix while he practiced. This is my usual view when I get the chance to watch Jon play. Today I got stage access! Time was limited and as usual I spent way too much time fiddling with …
Honolulu March 2014
Work brought me back to Honolulu and as usual all work & very little play. I did manage to go to Roy’s in Waikiki. It’s a tradition with me. The following night I had dinner with the Asato’s and they took me to a place called HASR Bistro. They own the wine shop next door …
Nanale Kanikapila

Heart
Last night we went to the Mountain Winery to see Heart perform. The show was excellent.
Jon @ the Flint Center
Last night we saw Jon at the Flint Center for a concert with the San Jose Youth Symphony. Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2. Jon was nice enough to block off a row of seats for us, we felt so special.
Last Friday
We had a great time last Friday unfortunately I didn’t bring a camera so I can’t provide any images. We wanted to do some research for Mother’s Day so Sandy made reservations at Cafe’ Jacqueline in Telegraph Hill. This restaurant specializes in souffles both savory & dessert. They were big enough for 2 so we …
3 Days in Reno
Jon had a concert scheduled in Reno so we decided tag along and spend the weekend. We stayed at the Siena right across the venue. I had a bit of work to do in town on Friday and was lucky enough to have dinner with Arlene at Da Vinci’s in the hotel. Sandy flew in …
