B/w I met artist Keith Gabor of Ashland studios and wanted to buy a $38 clear pumpkin with Goldish stem, but didn’t. Museum director Karen kienzel selected a larger black pumpkin from the same studio

I am making an anonymous (except to you, dear rare Plastic Alto reader) to St Peters of New York for their hosting of a Sonny Fortune memorial AND a Donny McCaslin Jazz Vespers.
Meanwhile I am producing a Molly Tuttle Show Monday and going to a Jenny Lewis show tonite at The Fox, but am a reform jew which means the High Holy Days start and stop when I say they do. Also, Steve Bernstein my rabbi is playing Monterey Jazz Festival today.
Jazz singer. Unique phrasing.
Baseball commissioner, with a limp.

(What actually brought be here is that I am researching a show I just booked into the Palo Alto Art Center Auditorium, Thursday December 12, 2019 to feature Larry Ochs, of whom I know a little, Dave Rempis, Darren Johnston, and two others — electronics wizards – -but in sussing that out I digressed to Fay Victor, who has played with Darren, and numerous others; I also sort of slipped down a Fay Victor rabbit-hole because her name reminded me of two siblings I knew, Fay and Victor Z—; there’s a tape of Fay leading a workshop of Billy Taylor’s “I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel To Be Free”; when I circled around and refreshed and typed in her name anew, I wandered to the cites of the former baseball commissioner. I’ll have to see if anyone beside Plastic Alto has linked these two peoples.
I thought I read that while in College – -I think it was Williams — Fay Vincent fell off the roof of his dorm — he played football – -and forever after had to use a cane.
It said that Fay dropped out of school when her mother died then started taking jazz classes, then lived overseas for a while then recently has started making serious waves as a vocalist.
So beyond doing a Ochs/Rempis/Johnston/EA/EA show, maybe I will bring Fay out to play, some day.
Which reminds me, that Lydia Oey and I had a great visit with Valerie Troutt in Oakland, a rehearsal and recording session of one of her choirs.
A lot bee going buzz here, lately.

Fay Victor hits high notes. Fay Vincent, who was at the same World Series game as I when he was the commissioner and Giants-A’s was preempted by an earthquake – and my Dad was there, too — was called “high-handed” by a group of MLB owners for the way he treated the troubled pitcher Steve Howe.
In a surrealistic twist I am NOT producing an event at Mitchell Park but an impromptu glorified busk-plus, by a young millennial indie answer to Tuck and Patty called Shelley and Shelley’s guitar player partner*. And it probably has nothing to do with me, but my understanding is they are doing mostly songs by San Francisco guy my age with the same first name Mark Kozelek. (although briefly I was trying to bribe people into converging and playing music of the grateful dead Robert Hunter one man barely gathers what another man spiels).
* we had a weak connection by Cell as they were driving up but I thought she said her backing band is called Lush Ravine.
I actually went by the art center to rent the room for a concert featuring Larry Ochs in for others Thursday, December 12 details TBA should be a free show that’s how we roll.
I’m super busy so in a group show with maybe 20 artist I only had time to find Kara her peace and it was in the last place I looked after a brief nanosecond of doubt that I could not recognize her style I’ve seen her in at least 10 shows sometimes with her husband, And- we-get Your-wire, or a good friend not my business really nor yours dear reader.
Car is piece is an arm with astrological icons on it plus a little chart that hopefully will not confuse too many people about whether I am a dragon or a rabbit the latter.
The oaks thing will have at least two saxophones and at least two younger people with their high-tech gizmos and where are use and ping pong pang

Sam Whiting in the Chron has their first official story about the group of tech entrepreneurs who have pledged to convert for $20m the Guild theater into a nonprofit concert hall like the university in Berkeley coincidentally once the flag ship of landmark, run by former BGP partners.
Meanwhile Palo Alto did have a week and flimsy flaccid plan to turn the varsity 456 university into a similar type deal so flimsy that when Steve Baker’s son broke an ankle at a soccer game that was the breaking point; Danny Scher did see it. Gary Fazzino said it was a good idea. Jim Keane was city manager during Berkeley’s rebuilding of freight and salvage. But it’s really unclear whether she really tried to reach out to the likely people able to run a 500 capacity building here: golden voice live nation slims Yoshi another planet. Chop Keenan building owner said he had new interest in subsidizing such a project even if we gave him an extra 20 stories at the nearby Hamilton high building. Even if I made good on my pledge to bring Roy Orbison back from the dead which actually is happening now.
Anyhow I didn’t root against these guys but I’ll believe it when I see it.
The talk of getting Bob Weir involved reminds me of the most recent movie I really enjoyed their death of Stalin which reminds me there is a remake of the book version of darkness at noon And of course I have started to research doing a Robert Hunter project here My neighbor Nick rides bikes with Bo Crane the author of a recent pamphlet through the Palo Alto Storico socialization on when Jerry met Bobby. I suggest he should’ve done the book to add some Robert Hunter stuff but he said he’s moved on
And in A completely unrelated matter or as they say now for something completely different I will be able to attend the Gunn Montavista football game to see the sensation half back eitan Smolyar 16 ypg because the sensation fake Korean performing artist Sun Kil Moon has pulled a funny bone.
