After 20 years as the lead vocalist for Santana, Tony Lindsay has garnered 11 Grammy awards, traveled on several world tours and recorded on seven CDs: Milagro (1992), Supernatural (1999), Shaman (2002), Ceremony (2003) and Food for Thought (2004), Ultimate Santana (2007) and Multi-Dimensional Warrior (2008). Their current tour involves Santana's First Rock Residency: an exclusive two-year deal for 36 shows with AEG at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel and Casino's concert hall "The Joint," which began May 27, 2009. When not on tour with Santana, Lindsay performs at various local venues and festivals and in between tours he is currently recording his fourth Solo CD.

with Special Guest Tom Politzer
Tom Politzer is a world renowned saxophone player, long time member of the legendary soul orchestra Tower Of Power, and a seasoned recording artist. Tom E. Politzer is TOP's lead tenor sax player. Tommy fills that role totally, not only as an outstanding soloist, but also as a part of the five piece Tower of Power horn section.

Born in Detroit and raised in Palo Alto, California, Tom contributes to the band's complex sound with his first tenor sax, alto sax, flute, and clarinet. Tom’s musical background and his switch from playing the clarinet to the baritone sax chair (inspired, in part, by Tower of Power’s “Squib Cakes”), set the stage for him to become the professional musician he is today.

plus SF Panhandlers Steel Drum Band
The SF Panhandlers are a nationally acclaimed, 25 member steel band based in San Mateo, California. Under the direction of Jim Munzenrider, this group has been entertaining audiences throughout Northern California since 1987.

With an extensive repertoire of traditional socas, calypsos, beguines, and other styles, the Panhandlers have become a mainstay at a number of Bay Area events, including the San Francisco Aids Walk, numerous community concert series, and the annual Pan in the Schools Jamboree, a day long festival for elementary and high school steel bands. In 2002, the group became the “unofficial steel band” of the San Francisco Giants, when they were invited to perform at the Playoffs and World Series at Pacific Bell Park.

The SF Panhandlers have recorded 4 CDs, to date - all of which have been enthusiastically applauded by the steel pan community and the general public. Their recordings feature original compositions by renowned composers, fresh arrangements of classics, and innovative treatments of popular songs.

Description of exhibit
We are proud to present the final show in our four-part exhibition at Berkeley’s vibrant community art space, The Subterranean Art House. This presentation features Sherrod Blankner, Jane Norling and Matthew Silverberg.

Sherrod Blankner paints sensuous rural vistas and burned-out cityscapes whose buildings she finds exude human emotions.

Jane Norling brings her love of powerful land formations marked by human survival into lyrical abstract paintings and 
metal-print digital compositions.

Matthew Silverberg presents themes of megacities, post abstract expressionism and exploration
 of digital techniques in digitally-enhanced prints and “traditional” but “wild-color” paintings.


The 1030 Art Group is comprised of 12 mid-career and emerging Bay Area artists who are pushing the boundaries between digital and traditional arts by using a wide variety
 of techniques including photography, sculpture, painting, textiles, mathematics, collage, software and alternative printing surfaces.

Mindfulness Alameda Sangha Sunday Dec. 8th

Dear Friends,

 
This Sunday Dec. 8th I'll be reviewing some of the information from two weeks ago on what constitutes full-fledged mindfulness, with its associated healthy and beneficial mind states.  
Then together we will inquire into how we know whether or not we are mindful, how we can create the conditions for mindfulness to arise, and what it feels like when it is there.  
Bring your personal (or universal!) practice questions and insights to share.
with warmth,
Deb Kerr
