Some Treasured And Unusual Performance Memories:

• Most picturesque places/ceremonies where I've performed include: Rose Garden in the hills of Berkeley, overlooking S.F. Bay; several locations with a view of Strait of Juan de Fuca, WA; many "mansions" with spectacular views, e.g., Golden Gate Bridge; Greek resort on Crete, Piazzas in Italian hill towns around Siena
