Dear Stephen and GGC,
Thank you for the fine description of our Urantia concert day together. Larry
and I can still feel all the love and fun that was left in our home. How
fortunate we all are to belong to a group that seeks fellowship and believes in
a loving universe with a loving father. Sending blessings for a wonderful New
Year ahead filled with adventure, wonder, and much love, Elizabeth and Larry

Dear GGC folks,
I am reporting to you about the Annual Concert in Bonny Doon, where you need to
know where you’re going, and following the directions means doing a bit of
long-distance driving, for most of us. In the end, it’s all more than
worthwhile.
Christina Seaborn, the extraordinary violinist, drove for six hours to arrive
for the concert, with two passengers, from Fullerton.
Sara Blackstock drove south from Benicia. James Woodward came from Placerville.
Dave and Chappell Holt came from Concord.
There were others from various parts of California. We all had a great time at
the Concert. Elizabeth and Larry Jones are generous hosts.
Chappell Holt did guitar and vocals. Dave Holt played the baby-grand piano and
did vocals, too.
Christina fiddled delightfully along with the music, in improvisations and in
her own unique style.
She even got others from the audience to do sing-along with her.
James Woodward and Robert Aponte came into the second half of the program, with
their guitars and talents.
Plus, there was a guest cameo appearance of Rochelle and Errol Strider, who did
their argument about “Peace begins with ME!!”
They also shared a touching memorial tribute to Stan Hartman of Colorado, a
long-time Urantia Book student known to a number of us, who recently passed on.
There were some young folks there who shared some of their music with us,
playing and singing.
As an extra we were introduced to the man who made such an impression on
attendees at Salt Lake City IC-’11, by playing trumpet while the organ
performed in the Auditorium.
All in all it was a very full Concert, full of gorgeous, even “Rockin’” music,
energized by a wide variety of talented musicians and singers.
The fellowship and the good food, including some big fine salmon, and a pot of
“baked-beans” from Berkeley, were scrumptious and loving.
Thanks all around to the Jones and the Holts for being the central organizers,
to the musicians who traveled a long way to play, and to the weather for being
mild and full of sunshine. We are fortunate indeed to have this opportunity
each year.
