<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">“Not yesterday I learned to know<br />
The love of bare November days<br />
Before the coming of the snow,<br />
But it were vain to tell her so,<br />
And they are better for her praise.” (My November Guest, by Robert Frost)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">“A cold November wind will catch you by surprise.<br />
You think you're safely wrapped in love till the wind begins to rise.<br />
And after all the warmth of a love that had it all,<br />
A cold November wind is the hardest way to fall.” (Willie Nelson)</span><br />

The store Chappell does most of her contracting with, <strong>Decades of Fashion</strong>
on Haight Street in SF, is being featured in the show, including an old
hippie restyled Edwardian dress she restored, actually completely
rebuilt from Edwardian bits and pieces. It will be the centerpiece and
she gets credit for the work! Chappell has started working on what
she’ll be wearing in preparation for the Gala opening of the De Young
show “40th Anniversary of the Summer of Love.” She’s making a handbag
with a 100 year old Oddfellow’s collar that she beaded over and attached
to leather from an old jacket and also beading a fringed leather jacket
for Dave!<br />

It’s a beautiful new listening room with a grand piano and great sound! Musician extraordinaire Karl Hartmann will accompany us on bass (see pic fr. street fair). We’ll share the evening of original jazz, blues and rock with WoodBarry, an Americana Rock/Country group featuring Woody Trevorrow and Barry Silverblatt from the legendary Bay Area band <em>Hearts on Fire</em>. Fellow "Hearts" and Houston/Jones veteran, guitarist Glenn Houston, along with Nancy Hall from the Curios, will be joining them onstage.<br />As Barry said, “forget politics (ugh!!) for a night and find your groove!”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><strong>Smiling Gently As I Near September</strong></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">“As a man who has never paused at wishing wells<br />
Now I'm watching children's carousels<br />
And their laughter's music to my ears<br />
And I find that I'm smiling gently as I near<br />
September, the warm September of my years.” (Frank Sinatra)<br />
<br />
“It was the third of September, that day I’ll always remember, yes I
will, ‘cause that was the day that my daddy died … Momma, I’m depending
on you to tell me the truth.” (Papa Was a Rolling Stone, Temptations)</span><br />
<br />
Dear Friends,</span></span><br />

been a good summer, old friends visiting from far away. One of my
earliest bandmates, Uldis Fogels, a songwriter who wrote such fine lines
as “I started out, same as anyone, with my hands in my pockets and my
eyes on the sun,” came to visit. He flew down from Barry, Ontario,
Canada, and we had a great time catching up with several old friends.
Uldis lived in Camp Meeker, Sonoma County, for a number of years (see
picture of the old US Post Office, now replaced), so we had a “coming
home” party for him.<br />

with her beautiful original song, “Wind in the Oak,” [from our CD,
Wings of the Morning] and a swinging revival of the Jon Hendricks,
Cannonball Adderley song “Sermonette.” Dave got ‘em rockin’ too with
Stevie Wonder’s “Have a Talk With God.” It was great to do these tunes
with a drummer, Larry Curtin. See pic of Dave seated at their beautiful
grand piano.<br />

Speaking of rain, we were drenched a bit in the downpour that hit Los Angeles the Saturday we left to drive back to the Bay Area. A bit of the Mexican hurricane came up and whacked the city with a rain storm on July 18. Unfortunately one of the outdoor shows our friends were playing got rained out.<br /><br /><img align="left" alt="" src="http://gp1.wac.edgecastcdn.net/802892/production_public/UserFile/455619/file/Ed_pearl_and_Shelley_Ross__Sorrells_.jpg" style="border: 10px solid; float: left; margin: 10px; max-width: 550px; min-height: 166px; width: 250px;" />We totally enjoyed our gigs down south, and the chance to visit with folks. It was great to see Shelley Ross, Ed Pearl and Jeff Landau among many others at our Coffee Gallery gig. Steve Strickland shared his wonderful photos (see the one of Shelley meeting Ed). The freeways may be full of madness and collisions, but the musicians continue to fill the air with beauty and song.<br /><br />Tuesday, August 4th at 7pm, Dave will be reading from his new poetry book, “I Heard the Mountain’s Voice Singing,” at the <a href="http://www.rvrb.me/fan_reach/pt?eid=A2532119_26903659_45346360_lnk1006&utm_content=1006&utm_medium=email&utm_source=fr_layout_8&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.appleboxcafe.com%2F" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #7e9751; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Apple Box Café</a>, in Petaluma as part of the Marin Poetry Center Traveling Show hosted by Mark Meierding, and featuring poets Dave Holt, Sy Margaret Baldwin, Jodi L Hottel, Bonnie Long, and Phyllis Meshulam.

Old pals were there plus some great young musicians we look forward to hearing
again. Several members of the Hawaiian Ukulele Club performed for the first time;
all were wonderful. We also hung out with local musician <a href="http://www.rvrb.me/fan_reach/pt?eid=A2532119_24676309_45346360_lnk1014&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FAwed-Ducks%2F184877981604692" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1423094872012_5978" rel="nofollow" style="color: #7e9751;" target="_blank">Bob Loomis and friends</a>.

presenters, producers, etc., October 16 -19, was a phenomenal success. Comments
from Facebook show what it was like. “We just took a nap so we can make it
through the rest of the evening. Got to bed at 3 AM after hours of music. It starts
up again at 10:30 pm.” And that was if you didn’t have to get
up to moderate a workshop at 9 am! It was well worth the effort, Dave found out
when he moderated the “Music as Healing” morning workshop with panel
presenters, Marian Hubler (Bread & Roses), Patrice Haan (Healing Muses) and
Greg Beattie, (also from Bread & Roses).<br />
<br />
The PGS rooms (Private Guerilla Showcases) are late night performances, very fun
especially if you were able to get some shut-eye. Some are song circles where songs
are exchanged which Chappell and I think are the best. Many are solo, duo or group
performances. This was the first time we held a storytellers circle in our PGS room
featuring expert raconteurs Bill Amatneek, Nick Smith, and Tom Hubbard and it was
superb. We’ll do it again in our PGS next year. We were also honored to have
many of the same fine musicians this year in Oakland as played in our PGS last year
in Irvine.<br />
<br />
Chappell organized the <a href="http://www.rvrb.me/fan_reach/pt?eid=A2532119_23344059_45346360_lnk1009&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.far-west.org%2Fbotw2014.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #7e9751;" target="_blank">“Best of the West” Awards Ceremony luncheon</a>,
and was the emcee. <img align="right" alt="" src="http://gp1.wac.edgecastcdn.net/802892/production_public/UserFile/426439/file/C___D_news_BOTW_Ed___Barbara.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 10px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 10px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 10px; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 10px; float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; max-width: 550px; min-height: 133px; width: 200px;" />Her performance at the podium helped make it a memorable
day. Chappell secretly organized a flash-mob to surprise Cassandra Flipper of Bread
& Roses as she accepted the 2014 Ambassador Award. The volunteers
who were there <img align="left" alt="" src="http://gp1.wac.edgecastcdn.net/802892/production_public/UserFile/426437/file/C___D_Bread_and_Roses_BOTW.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 10px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 10px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 10px; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 10px; float: left; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; max-width: 550px; min-height: 133px; width: 200px;" />jumped up on stage to sing the organization theme song, as
chosen by founder Mimi Farina, “Our days shall not be sweated from birth until
life closes, Hearts starve as well as bodies, give us bread, but give us roses.”<br />
<br />
We are currently booking our 2015 tours, first to Southern California from March
