Crowds watch as workers place a 64-ton dome on the historic landmark Murphy windmill during its repair in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, Monday, Sept. 12, 2011. The windmill was constructed in 1905 and is one of the largest windmills in the world. It originally served to irrigate the park. The dome was repaired in Holland. The flags below the American and San Francisco flags are the Dutch and Irish flags. The windmill's 68-ton copper dome was placed back on top of the structure on Monday after undergoing nearly a decade of restoration. The work is part of a multi-million dollar project to bring the six-story windmill, which once pumped water to the rest of the park, back online. Built in 1905, the windmill languished for decades until the restoration work began in 2002. The project is expected to be completed by the middle of 2012, when the windmill's sails and gears should be back on and the area around it landscaped. The project is being funded by public and private money. — at Dutch Windmill San Francisco CA -- The entrance to Baker Beach - Jon Hammond http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Beach Baker Beach is a public beach on the peninsula of San Francisco, California, U.S.. The beach lies on the shore of the Pacific Ocean to the northwest of the city. It is roughly a half mile (800 m) long, beginning just south of Golden Gate Point (where the Golden Gate Bridge connects with the peninsula), extending southward toward the Seacliff peninsula, the Palace of the Legion of Honor and the Sutro Baths. The northern section of Baker Beach is "frequented by clothing-optional sunbathers". As such it is considered a nude beach.History Baker Beach is part of the Presidio, which was a military base from the founding of San Francisco by the Spanish in 1812 until 1997. In 1904, it was fortified with disappearing gun installations known as Battery Chamberlin, which can still be viewed today. When the Presidio was decommissioned as a U.S. Army base, it became part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which is administered by the National Park Service. From 1986 to 1990, the north end of Baker Beach was the original site of the Burning Man art festival. In 1990, park police allowed participants to raise the traditional large statue but not to set it on fire, since the beach enforces a limit on the size of any campfires. Subsequent Burning Man events have taken place in Black Rock Desert, Nevada. A fatal shark attack occurred on Baker Beach on May 7, 1959[5] when 18-year old Albert Kogler Jr. was attacked by a great white shark while he was 15 feet deep in water. This was the only shark attack recorded on Baker Beach. Large outcrops of serpentine cliffs occur along the Pacific coast near Baker Beach. When rising from the land surface, serpentine produces a low-calcium, high-magnesium soil that can allow for rare species of plants to develop in the vicinity. This may explain the presence of Hesperolinon congestum (the Marin Dwarf Flax, a threatened plant) in surrounding areas — at Baker Beach.

I had all my hats custom made by him when I was playing Hammond organ 7 nights a week in the Zone - at World Famous 2 O'Clock Club, Picadilly, Mouse Trap and some of the other 'continuous adult entertainment' clubs back in the 70's - Jon Hammond http://www.csmonitor.com/1988/1011/rhat.html By David Holmstrom, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor / October 11, 1988 Boston IT'S a hot day on LaGrange Street. Across from the gaudy Club New Orleans, on the shady side of this street in Boston's notorious ``combat zone,'' Arthur Stephens takes a small paring knife out of his pocket. He carefully cuts through the black threads of time. ``Six and seven-eighths,'' he says quietly. In his hand is a beige man's hat. No measuring, no guessing the size. He knows hats, this hat, any hat. The knife cuts the threads holding the old, black hatband. It falls to the floor. ``This is a good beaver hat,'' says Mr. Stephens, twirling it over the knuckles of one hand. He will spend the next hour or so in loving restoration of another man's favorite hat. For 54 years, inside a narrow LaGrange Street shop darkened by time and steam, and filled with the rakishness of hats on pegs everywhere, Stephens has plied the almost forgotten art of a hatter. Like a poet polishing verbs, Stephens makes, restores, and repairs fine hats. During the half-century he has been motivated by the axiom ``A man doesn't looked dressed unless he wears a hat.'' ``My sisters were hat trimmers,'' he says proudly, ready to nurture just about any stained, drooping hat into new sheen and bearing. ``My father was a hatter, and my brothers were hatters, too. See, I like what I'm doing. You gotta like what you're doing. I'm 80 going on 81. Arthur Stephens is the only bona fide, art-for-the-sake-of-art hatter left in Boston. Once there were dozens. Ernesto Marrone has been a customer for 10 years. ``You can't get this kind of service anywhere else,'' he says, ``not even in New York. I wear hats because I grew up in an old Italian neighborhood where hats were customary.'' Long before Stephens bought the shop on LaGrange, a man named Hand first opened it on a downtown Boston street. The year was 1860, the year Abraham Lincoln was elected President, and Mr. Hand proclaimed his shop ``Hand the Hatter.'' The shop thrived down one century to another, satisfying Bostonian gentlemen who wore homburgs, panamas, top hats, trilbies, derbys, westerns, fedoras, and even boaters. And when the young and ambitious Stephens bought the shop in 1934, he kept the name. Today, above the door, slightly weathered and melancholy, a black-and-white sign still says, ``Hand the Hatter.'' The small shop window - protected by a steel grate - is so dusty and gray there is no seeing through it. One step up and through the open door and into the musty shop, and you have entered a time warp sliced from a faded calendar, circa 1930, with hats, hats, and more hats. ``You walk in here and say, `How come all this junk is here?''' says Stephens, a small man with rounded shoulders and a gruff, sentimental voice. ``But everything is ready for any kind of hat. You never know when you're going to use this stuff.'' ``This stuff'' lying about is a Noah's ark of the hatter's craft. Shelves and tables full of wooden hat blocks, shelves full of wooden flanges to shape brims, a 40-year-old hissing copper boiler (steam for steaming the hats), ancient cans of ``luring'' grease (to bring out the sheen of hats), an old ``ironing'' machine that heats and shapes the crown of hat while it spins slowly on a block, and off in one corner a bulbous, heated ``sand'' machine (a flannel bag filled with heated beach sand) to lower over a hat on a flange to shape or reshape the brim. ``I used to work until 2 in the morning,'' says Stephens, recalling the heady, quicker pace of the 1930s. ``Saturdays, Sundays. I'd go out to eat, take a shower at a hotel, come back here, and go to work again. I could knock off maybe 40 to 50 hats a day. Today if I do eight or 10 I'm doing a big day's work.'' Stephens acknowledges that it was probably a hatless President named John Kennedy who helped take the steam out of the men's hat business. That and all the vets returning from World War II as men who refused to wear hats anymore. Add the long hair of men in the 1960s, and hats had a dim future. ``Kennedy didn't wear a hat,'' says Stephens, ``and everybody stopped wearing them. Men are wearing all different kinds of hats now, but still not like they used to. Do I wear hats? Sure. I keep a couple in my car.'' He pauses by the ironing machine, watching the blocked brown hat turning as the hot ``iron'' moves automatically and slowly around it, squeaking all the way. On a shelf a fan pushes the hot air around. His voice lowers. ``Way back I made hats for Jimmy Durante,'' he says. ``His valet used to come here and get them. He'd say, `Jimmy needs a couple of hats,' and I'd know just what he wanted. Basil Rathbone used to buy hats from me, too.'' A new hat from Stephens will cost from $125 to $150. A restoration begins about $20 and often ends there, no matter how long it takes. ``I never really check the time, to tell you the truth,'' he says. ``I like the work, and when it's done, it's done.'' In the late afternoon a customer of 35 years comes in: a stocky, older man named Mitch with a straw hat needing the brim smoothed and stiffened. Stephens repairs the hat in minutes, using the sand machine and some deftly applied glue. ``I bought my first custom-made hat here in 1950,'' says Mitch, standing at the small counter near an enormous old cash register with a hand crank. ``I got one he made me a few years ago, and a couple of others,'' says Mitch. He says he would like another, a light gray this time. He and Stephens strike an accord. A price of $85, with $40 down. Stephens fills out an order. Mitch peels off two $20 bills on the counter. ``I don't want you pushing yourself,'' he says to Stephens. They both laugh and agree that three weeks should be long enough to fashion the hat. They shake hands. Mitch says warmly, ``I need you. Don't push yourself on this.'' Minutes later, a young man in a leather vest and tie enters and picks up a custom-made hat, a tan, narrow-brimmed trilby. Stephens packs the hat in a new Stetson hat box and tosses in a cluster of small red and yellow feathers for the hatband. When the young man leaves, Stephens says: ``If you're any kind of a businessman, you throw a man a few feathers.'' Late in the afternoon he sits in one of the four old chairs just inside the front door in a pensive mood. ``These are all old customers now,'' he says quietly. ``They know I won't sell them a bad hat. If I had said a $100 for the hat, Mitch would have paid it. No arguments.'' — at Combat Zone Combat Zone Boston MA -- Hand The Hatter, Arthur was one of the greatest hatters of all times.

Hear Lydia speak with Jon about how the band got it's name and subsequently Cold Blood was one of the first rock groups to be signed by Bill Graham's Fillmore Records. The story of how legendary singer producer Donny Hathaway came to produce Lydia and Cold Blood and talking about the musicians living and deceased. Lydia's newest album is entitled 'Transfusion' - http://www.HammondCast.com/ Thank you, posting this interview was great and heartwarming to this Lydia Pense fan from the 60s when Cold Blood came out. Got the original album, several cds which I have played to scratch mode. No one matches her intensity and soulfulness. she had that clear quality that Janis sometimes didn't bring because of the vocal differences, but many thanks. Love it! valreshel 1 year ago THANK YOU! I love Lydia & Cold Blood. ChrisOtheBigC In early 70's I saw Cold Blood in Cleveland at the Agora. I saw Tower of Power many times in the area then as well. I formed a band called "Shop Talk" a cold blood song, all we did was cold blood and tower of power in Cleveland Akron area. IT was a lot of fun. No one comes close to Lydia is strength, soul, vigor, passion, and she is buatiful to boot, a very attractive woman. jonathonlallo in reply to unlimited93065 (Show the comment) Cold Blood may not have gotten the same kind of widespread recognition that many of their Bay Area peers received back in the day, but that still doesn't excuse the fact that they were a force to reckon with. As for Lydia, she truly is one of the great soul singers of our time and aging ever so gracefully at 60. Her and Bettye Lavette are definitely proving a point that one can survive the ravages of the industry by just being strong-willed and committed to their craft. PROPS!!! PeekaPeep Glad Lydia is doing her thang--a power house vocalist. I have her solo album and it still stands up to the test of time3 years ago I went to the same high school as Lydia. Saw her tear it up way before she joined Cold Blood & tore up the crowd at The Fillmore which they did, Was there for that too. She's always been great. Person & Singer-Still Rock'en 6749er they are not in the same atmosphere.Unfortunately a lot of people back East never heard of Lydia. she is a beast of a singer. Janis in my opinion was very overrated.Lydia underrated the lady got soul. bmwstan in reply to Patequi (Show the comment) 3 years ago Loved her on Let Me Down Easy & I'm A Good Woman -- Janis Joplin on roids! MizMackie Very cool. What is your dad up to musically speaking? One of the all time best drummers I've heard. JoeGrunt5 in reply to cstoltie (Show the comment) I grew up around her till I was about 6 years old. I am Sandy McKee's son. Her voice was and is still amazing. I listen to the original Cold Blood music all the time. Wonderful to see Lydia is still hanging tough! Lexuses71 I saw Cold Blood for the first time back in 1970 when they shared a double bill with Tower of power in a small club in Oakland. Lydia is head and shoulders above Janis Joplin. In 2006 I saw a reformed Cold Blood and just like back in the day, they were extremly funky and greasy with Lydia sounding as great as ever. Check out their recent new album and a recently issued live recording from circa 1973 that is a fine representation of how they sounded at their peak of popularity Patequi I saw cold blood in Seattle in September. They were awesome and Lydia still had it 100% — with Lydia Pense and Lydia Pense at Starbucks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPvu1cOUSMs Jazz Kneipe Berlinerstr. 70 - Jon Hammond Band Frankfurt Germany -- Jazz Kneipe Berlinerstr. 70 - Jon Hammond Band http://www.jonhammondband.com/ I played 207 gigs in the famous JAZZ KNEIPE Frankfurt at Berlinerstr. 70 until Regina the boss finally closed the doors and moved to Spain a few years ago, usually in Duo, sometimes as Trio but more often than not as Solo. This was a special occasion because my bandmates from California came over so I had them on the gig with addition of Sgt. Al Wittig of U.S. Air Force on tenor, James Preston of Sons of Champlin band drums, Barry Finnerty gtr., myself Jon Hammond at XB-2 Hammond organ. This was a very special place frequented by all the musicians after there gigs. A 5 hour gig until wee hours of the morning, Live Music 7 days a week in rotation with musicians like Piano George, Izio Gross, Wilson de Oliveira and members of HR Bigband. Regina introduced me to Tony Lakatos the Hungarian tenor saxophonist who I play with still today. The club was not large but it had a great atmosphere and was always a safe place to hang out until as late as 5AM. Sadly the Jazz Kneipe is still shuttered there on Berlinerstr. directly behind the Frankfurter Hof Hotel. All musicians tip their hat when they pass by. There's a lot of music in those walls!

I played on Lou's band for 2.5 years in the late 70's in house band at the Wychmere Harbor Club in Cape Cod. Lou is going strong happy to report, playing regularly at the restaurant of his daughter Sherri and son in-law Marc Neeley - Roadhouse Cafe during winter months and in the summer he plays at his son David's Roadhouse Cafe in Hyannis MA on Cape Cod. I schlepped my Hammond Sk1 organ all the way down there in hopes I could sit in with Lou for a couple of tunes but unfortunately that wasn't possible, however I shot some video of Lou and his fine group, so enjoy the music and personality of Lou Colombo, one of the all-time greats on his instrument!

In its short history, the innovative programming offered to attendees has grown to include celebrity Q&A's, master classes, songwriting and composing workshops, publisher and business panels, One-on-One sessions, DIY career building workshops, showcases and performances, song feedback panels, state-of-the-art technology demos as well as leading music industry exhibitors.
