Party for the Parkway

On November 15, I performed with Matt Darling, Associate Professor of Music and Director of Percussion Studies at California State University Fresno, for a benefit party for the San Joaquin River Parkway Trust in Fresno, CA.

The party was at the beautiful home of the Hallowells in the foothills outside Fresno. The sold-out party was great fun with wonderful food and a great crowd. It was fun to see some old friends and to perform with Matt. We played one time many years ago in the Sacramento Philharmonic together, but this was the first time we really played "together".

We performed Nagoya Marimbas by Steve Reich, Duet for Vibraphone and Marimba by Daniel Levitan, Just a Bunch of Notes... by Stephen Whittington, and Saint Agnes and the Burning Train by Sting. We also each performed two solos.

Thanks to the James and Coke Hallowell, David and Linda Grubbs, and to all the enthusiastic people at the concert and party. It was great fun!
