July 30 Show

Posted by velvetred on July 30, 2006

We go out sailing with the Folsom Lake Yacht Club to enjoy the Notes on Boats event in New York Cove.  We also re-visit the Crocker Art Auction from June, listening to those in attendance and an artist for their perspectives on the event.  The interviews from the art auction are ones that have not been heard on the show (for the most part).

New Change: June 11 Show to be Rebroadcast on June 18 at 8 p.m.

Posted by velvetred on June 11, 2006

Last week, the show was broadcast over Access Sacramento on Comcast but was not broadcast over Live 365 (the internet).  Therefore, it will be re-broadcast at 8 p.m. on Sunday, June 18.  No new shows will air until Sunday, July 2.  On July 2, the show will likely be on the Notes on Boats outing with the Folsom Lake Yacht Club and the Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce golf tournament.

I apologize for any confusion. Read the rest of this entry »
