about me
Interested in meeting folk with similar interests and values (spiritual, moral and political, which for me is distinctly left of center). I am a gay man, and I am not at all concerned about your gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, and all of that. Just looking to develop new friendships -- and as an aside also professional networking if there are those connections out there as well. Cheers!

Re: Peninsula Symphony presents Mahler’s Fifth this weekend
(in sfbay renegade)
I put it in because this is a Bay Area wide Tribe, plenty of Renegades I know (including myself) love Classical music, and many would argue that Mahler was a prototypical renegade.

Re: Floating Island
(in LOST - ABC TV)
I am curious whether this scene relates at all to the episode when Ben tells John that he has to kill his father to prove to the Others that he is The One. If I recall, the challenge was for John to kill his father with a knife, which he was unabl...

Feinsmith Quartet in Concert with special guest drummer Scott Amendola
(events » live music)
Monday, October 8, 2007 - 7:00 PM
San-Francisco based Feinsmith Quartet, known for its powerful new sound with an ecstatic spiritual bent, appears in concert with special guest Scott Amendola. A super-group in the most complete sense of the term, Feinsmith Quartet features Jennifer Culp on cello, Michael Manring on bass, Gyan Riley on guitar, and Christopher Taylor on piano. Feinsmith Quartet performs original compositions by founder and artistic director Daniel David Feinsmith and guitarist Gyan Riley on Monday, October 8, 2007 at 7 pm at Kanbar Hall, Jewish Community Center, 3200 California Street (at Presidio), San Francisco.
The October 8 concert program presents Feinsmith Quartet performing Elokim (2006) and the world premiere of Havaya (2007) by Daniel David Feinsmith. Both Elokim and Havaya, composed for the Feinsmith Quartet, are spiritual works, their titles reflecting names of God in Hebrew in the Jewish tradition. Elokim is a work that exalts in the creative power of the Divine, and Havaya is a work of longing for a closeness to God. Feinsmith Quartet with special guest, drummer Scott Amendola, performs the premieres of new arrangements for Melismantra (2006) and The Changes Stay The Same (2006) by guitarist Gyan Riley, both improvisatory works with links to Hindustani Raga music. Each member of Feinsmith Quartet has a well-earned reputation as a critically-acclaimed performer and recording artist. Cellist Jennifer Culp performed from 1998 to 2005 with Kronos Quartet, whose 2004 recording with Culp of Berg’s Lyric Suite earned the group its first Grammy Award. Bassist Michael Manring is regarded as a technical virtuoso who uses the bass as a solo instrument and frequently takes advantage of unusual alternate tunings. Gyan Riley is a prominent figure of guitar and contemporary music, as well as a great composer, and has often performed with his father, composer Terry Riley. Pianist Christopher Taylor has been lauded by critics for his exquisite virtuostic renditions of Bach, romantic piano concertos, and adventurous musical programming. A NY Times feature on Taylor began: "Those who know the pianist Christopher Taylor tend to speak of him in the hushed, reverent tones typically reserved for natural wonders if not the otherwordly.” Since landing in San Francisco in 1992, Scott Amendola has been nominated for a Grammy with the band T.J. Kirk, recorded three records with Charlie Hunter for Blue Note, toured the world and appeared on national television with The Charlie Hunter Quartet, formed his own inventive house-packing quintet, and has recorded or performed with dozens of musicians, including Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Tony Furtado, Noe Venable and Jacky Terrasson, and many others. Tickets ($15-$25) are available through the JCCSF Box Office, (415) 292-1233, and online at www.jccsf.org or www.feinsmithquartet.com
