A local writer’s autobiographical one-man theatrical piece has enjoyed a warm reception at a series of performances around Sonoma County. Now he’s preparing to take the show on the road… rather a long road.

To get to Edinburg, David Templeton has launched this online  crowd-sourced fundraising effort.

  The FCC is preparing new rules to govern Internet access, amidst worries that those changes will give industry giants an unfair competitive advantage.

  ALSO: A bill that would allow some California community colleges to offer four year degrees has passed the State Senate Education Committee. The change would apply to areas that have a shortage of workers with specific technical skills.

  Dan Earl has been a constant and active presence in Sonoma County’s choral music world for decades, including a round of four concerts with the Santa Rosa Symphonic Chorus that begins this evening. These performances will also represent a milestone of sorts, as Dan will step down from the podium when they are concluded. He talks about both aspects of the weekend ahead with Bruce Robinson.

The Santa Rosa Symphonic Chorus will sing Morten Lauridsen's Lux Aeterna (Eternal Light), with orchestra (no orchestra at Jacuzzi Winery).  They will be joined by the California Redwood Chorale in singing Sure on this Shining Night.  Both choruses will sing other pieces as well. Tickets are $15, and are available at the door for each concert.
