Delores Fisher/ Ken Card Just Jammin' At Hank's

Sharing musical interests with a colleague who enjoys music across a broad spectrum is always fun. Ken Car is a guitarist with a wit and dry delivery that often has me laughing while at the same time rubbing my face uttering "Whoa, man," He and I enjoy traditional Western Classical music, as well as other "Classical" traditions. We also both enjoy the challenging process of improvisation.

It's all part of the musical fun that punctuates our sonic terrain as two of several Garrett Music studio teachers. Ken Car teaches guitar, me, piano--at Garrett's Band Instruments:     http://www.garrettmusic.com/

Here's a quick YOUTUBE post of our latest high jinks while on break. It is the very first time that we sat down to play as a duo. We call this improvised collaboration based on a few Blues cliches-- what else--  "Breaktime Blues." Hank Garrett's great sense of humor allows such gems of musical moments. We owe him a heartfelt thanks

Playin' for the fun of it. . . . .ENJOY!

Starla Lewis Professor Emeritus: A New Year's Gift January 2024 Post 1

We all think about those negative influences that we would all like to forget; yet we often neglect to acknowledge those positive warriors who quietly and compassionately help us shoulder dark toxic angst, while nurturing us back to the light of healthy joy.  This 2024 January post is to celebrate one of the positive life warrior-healers that I cherish. If you have one of these people in your life, did you stop and give God thanks for them? (If you don't have one, prayerfully your life will soon be blessed. If you do and you didn't offer thanks yet---how about doing it now?) In the traditional Black American community, we have a custom known as "Give them their flowers (while they yet live)." Selfless fabulous people have invested quality time and positivity into my life. This first post is a huge thank you/shout out and a huge Kuumba bouquet of red fragrant roses to my community minded sistah-- professor Starla Lewis! Professor Starla Lewis at the 2024 San Diego S...

Part of A Legacy:Calvary Baptist Church San Diego

Those of you following me on Twitter and at The Center For World Music: https://centerforworldmusic.org/about-us/board/ know that I was a pianist at Calvary Baptist Church in San Diego California back in the day. Charles Ray was the organist/pianist, professor Jean Wesson was the music director. I also played accompanied the Calvary Baptist Church Youth Choir under the direction of Carol Durgan.  The church was known as Second Baptist in 1889 on the corner of  1st and B street. It was moved to  the corner of  then Crosby Street, https://www.calvarybcsd.org/history/   now known as 719 Cesar E. Chavez Pkwy. and at this time is following the leadership of pastor Dr. Emanuel Whipple Sr. And this Sunday in September 2012 Calvary Baptist Church had a Youth Choir Reunion Concert at 3:30.
