Open House For Our Fire House Page 13 Music On The Mountain
Presenting 80 Years of Music With Janet Hammer And Nathan Fry
Track and Field
Please join us for an evening of reminiscing with Double Take, as they perform Duets through the Decades for Music on the Mountain. Janet Hammer and Nathan Fry make up this duo. The performance will take place on Tuesday, May 2, 2017 at 6 PM as we kick off Older Adults Month. Nathan Fry and Janet Hammer have delighted audiences together for nearly 25 years working steadily at the finest venues in Southern California. They give their own spin to some of the greatest music spanning the last 80 years from Swing all the way through Contemporary Pop and literally everything in between. Nathan has a brilliant way of covering all the instruments on his keyboard to sound like a full orchestra or band and together their voices blend with power and sonic synchronicity. Janet Hammer spent her teen years touring as a vocalist with the Continental Singers. Soon after, she received an Associate of Arts degree in music from Palomar Community College, then a Bachelor's Degree and secondary teaching credential from San Diego State University. During this period, she sang professionally with several small groups and big bands. Just after college, she also joined the San Diego Master Chorale for eight years. She teaches classes in vocal technique and leads the vocal jazz ensemble, Spectrum Singers, at Palomar College since 2003. She gives vocal production workshops and also has many private students. Nathan Fry, a San Diego native, studied piano and organ from the age of five. He studied trombone and saxophone in school and attended summer sessions at the Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts in Festival Choir and Stage Band. While in High School Nathan served as organist for the Community Church of Poway, then attended California Institute of the Arts studying voice and composition. He has performed for long term engagements at local venues such as Hotel Del Coronado, Loew’s Coronado Bay Resort, L’Auberge Del Mar and Rancho Bernardo Inn. Nathan has sung with the San Diego Master Chorale and other community and church choirs. Janet's music career is multifaceted. She actively performs at numerous venues throughout Southern California performing in small ensembles and with bands including: The Mar Dels, the Ira Liss Big Band Jazz Machine, Storey Lines, The Xceptional Tribute to ABBA, and her own bands and groups; Rhythm Express, Double Take, Sweethearts of Swing, Corner Pocket, Harmony Express, and Classic Sass, and several more. We hope you will enjoy two fabulous vocalists who will captivate you with their dynamic voices and entertaining stage presence. The Julian branch hosts Music on the Mountain on the first Tuesday of each month (usually) with some special shows added through the year. The Library is located at 1850 Highway 78, next to the High School. All concerts are free and refreshments follow. For more information, please call the branch at 760-765-0370.
It’s been a long haul to get here , and now Julian-Cuyamaca Fire has a new home, with new equipment, and a renewed sense of pride. As one of the first and last volunteer agencies in the County JCFPD has struggled to keep its autonomy and provide the community with quality service through major fires, economic downturns and internal bickering. Saturday was a day to celebrate, and a day to come together as a community. After all we paid (are paying) for it. The people instrumental in planning, and seeing it through to the ribbon cutting all were recognized with thank you’s and congratulatory remarks. Retired Chief Keven Dubler who started the process with the ballot initiative and Chief Rick Marinelli who now gets to set the standards for the JCFPD sharred the honors with the scissors. The station is still in need of some final “polishing” and all the gear hasn’t been brought over. None of that mattered to the over 250 people who came out and enjoyed the tour. The fire fighters themselves were all smiles as they guided the public through the new facility. Some furnishings had only arrived only that morning. The BBQ fired up and lunch was served, and it seemed a perfect day until the calls came in and the trucks pulled out, fortunately only a couple of cancellations and a medical call. Unfortunately, the food was gone when the crews got back. They would have liked a burger or hot dog too.
