A #blastfromthepast  from 1982. Yes… I'm in this photo… can you spot me? I toured with a vocal group full time… we did about 200 concerts per year back then, and in the first two years I had the privilege of visiting 48 states and 15 foreign countries.
  There are a handful of 30+ year members, and we still get out and perform all over the country about 20 times per year…

While scanning through some of my grandpa's old photos for this week's #blastfromthepast  I found this one taken in the mid 1950s at Griffith Park (north of Los Angeles)
  That's grandpa on the left (I'm not sure who was holding the camera), mom in the middle, and dad on the far right.
   I wasn't even a twinkle in mom's eye at this point… but I do remember going to the Griffith Park observatory as a young boy in the late 1960s. I clearly recall being fascinated by the huge Foucault Pendulum which appears to slowly change its direction of swing while in actuality it is the earth turning underneath (that should make sense to the astrophotographers out there!)

A #blastfromthepast  from 1982. Yep, that's me at the top, at age 19…I had just joined a vocal group and started touring the world… The group is still going strong (personnel has changed a bit over the years), but we'll be headed back to this city in late summer… do you know where it is?
  You can see what we look like today in this music video we did a couple years ago in and around Prague http://youtu.be/YSlvfgwVWKE

for this week's #blastfromthepast , these are my parents. They played oboe and flute together for over 45 years, doing duets, and sitting side by side in countless symphony orchestra rehearsals and concerts. Mom taught flute lessons on the side while raising 3 rambunctious boys…dad was (is) an engineer and professor.
  We lost mom about 8 years ago, but dad continues to regularly play his oboe and english horn at a variety of events each year.. well into his 70s.

From about 1969 I think… for this week’s #blastfromthepast , these are my parents.

For this week's #blastfromthepast   I found this cool shot of my mom at an unknown location which looks like a great place to gaze at the valley below and contemplate life.
  I'm guessing this was about 1955, perhaps in Northern California.
