If you’re wondering where all this information comes from, there’s a whole “invisible” side of web browsing. When you click on a link, your web browser not only asks the hosting computer for the web page, but also tells it what computer and web browser you are using; this information is often used to adjust the content of the web page to make it display best on your machine. Also, when you click on a link from a search engine, that search engine tells the web site computer which term you used to find them.
YouTube “groups” for 1970s and 1980s videos
I just created a couple of YouTube “Groups” to hold videos from the 70s and 80’s. If you have videos on YouTube, you can add them to the group. The addresses for the groups are:
(pretty easy addresses, yes?)
Feel free to add videos to your class decade.
I created groups for these two decades because I knew of videos for them. If you know of videos from other decades, please start a group for them and I’ll post a link here.
Picnic for classes of ‘74, ‘75, ‘76, ‘77, ‘78, ‘79, and others
Mark your calendars! The remnants of the Class of 78 30 year reunion committee and friends from nearby classes have organized a summer picnic for classes of ‘74 through ‘79, plus any other folks who may know people from those classes.
Date: Sunday, August 23, 2009
Time: Noonish until we tire out.
Food: Potluck. But we’ll have a hot coals and a few “starter” items.
Exact details: To be arranged and posted within the next month or so.
We’ll be working out the details soon, but our general idea is that we’ll provide coals and a miscellanous set of starters. We’ll be asking $10 to help cover the reservations, coals, and other starter items (as well as a bit of food so out-of-town folks won’t have to bring anything.
And classes of “74 and ‘79, don’t miss your own reunions this summer! Click your class link in the menu on the right. –>

A truly amazing lineup of Berkeley High’s swingin-est alumni take the stage at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School for an afternoon concert that has to be heard to be believed! Convened by Peter Apfelbaum to honor the rich musical legacy of Charles Hamilton, who has taught and led the award-winning Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble for 27 years, the show features a knockout selection of BHS alumni in never-before-seen combos. With local jazz radio personality Greg Bridges as MC, three decades of jazz ensemble graduates take the stage, with proceeds going to benefit the Berkeley Schools Jazz Program.
Featured in the program are: Mike Aaberg, Ravi Abcarian, Ambrose Akinmusire, Peter Apfelbaum, Mariel Austin, Will Bernard, Steven Bernstein, Cale Brandley, Billy Buss, Dave Ellis, Rodney Franklin, Kito Gamble, Peter Hargreaves, Toby Hargreaves, Colin Hogan, Erik Jekabson, Jessica Jones, Josh Jones, Yanos Lustig, Marian Martinez, Hitomi Oba, and Dayna Stephens . . . and who knows who else may show up?
Director of the Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble since 1981, Charles Hamilton has dedicated himself to leading youthful artists to new musical heights. Under his leadership, the innovative Berkeley High School program has gained widespread recognition and produced dozens of world-renowned musicians.
Peter Apfelbaum (The New York Hieroglyphics), this show’s musical director, is a pianist, tenor saxophonist, drummer, and composer known for his unique fusion of world music influences and the aesthetic of the jazz avant-garde.
