I also posted awhile back about a musically based boink, specifically an
outing at Bach Dancing Dynamite Society.  Since Lana so kindly typed up
a copy of their schedule I thought I'd summarize what she sent and suggest
some possible dates:



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BACH Dancing and Dynamite Society
Located on Miramar Beach, Half Moon Bay, CA 415-726-4143

The Sunday afternoon music performances will vary from
$15 to $16 per person.  Doors open at 3 p.m. for saving
seats and partying around the beach house.  No advance
reservations except ofr $100 Jazz contributors.  Music
starts at 4:30p.m. and goes until 7:30-8:00, including
intermission.  A catered buffet is available with wine
and juice bar.  For information phone 415-726-4143 or
mail $5 to PO Box 302, El Granada, CA  94018 if you wish
to be on the mailing list.  All shows open to public and
minors are always welcome.  Student discount available
with I.D.  Credit card reservation by phone now available
for Classical programs and special Jazz concerts when so
indicated.


October 18 - Sunday, 4:30 p.m. - The Bill Holman 18-piece
Jazz Orchestra from Los Angeles, featuring Charlie Shoemake
on vibes with spouse Sandi doing vocals.

It's probably a little to late to plan for this one.

November 1 - Sunday, 4:30 p.m. - The 11th Annual Classical
Piano Fest, featuring soloists Mack McCray, Laura Spitzer
and Steven Mayer.  

This could be a good one.  BDDS has a full size grand piano and anytime
there is a good pianist it is usually a good show.  These are primarily
classical trained pianist but are playing some jazz pieces as well.

November 8 - Sunday, 4:30 p.m. - Brazilian Guitarist, Toninho
Horta and trio, performing both Brazilian guitar and classic
Straight Ahead Jazz.  

This could be a good one. I've seen a few international artists at BDDS
and they're usually quite entertaining.
 

November 15 - Sunday, 4:30 p.m. - The Brecker Brothers Reunion
Band, featuring Michael Brecker, tenor sax, and Randy Brecker,
trumpet/flugelhorn.  

Although this might be the best show coordinating getting tickets for
the show might be difficult.  The admission price is $21 for this one
(as opposed to $15-16 for the others.  It is the only show that tickets
can be reserved by credit card.


November 22 - Sunday, 4:30 p.m. - The Monticello Trio for piano,
violin and cello will perform the works of Schubert's "E Flat
Trio," the "Faure Trio," etc. 

Complimentary Wine Tasting by the Trefethen Vineyards of Napa Valley.

I've never been to a classical music show at BDDS.  This could be a good
opportunity to see classical music in a more informal setting than a symphony
hall.


November 30 - Program to be announced.

December 6 - Sunday, 4:30 p.m. - Christmas Special - The
Kent/Shulman Duo for harp and violin, performing the works of
Saint-Saens, Mauro Giuliani Sonata Opus 25, as well as pieces
by Bach, Ralph Williams, and the Spanish Dance 31 by Manuel de
Falla.  This unusual duo for violin and harp makes for a full
and rich sounding program.  

This also looks like an excellent show.  I believe this is also the
weekend of the Tyger boink.
