The incomparable High Sierra Jazz Band, formed in 1976, just keeps on playing on. By now you may know that Marc Caparone, 40, has assumed his full-time role officially has High Sierras cornet/trumpet player. He replaces Bryan Shaw, who played with High Sierra for the past 15 years. Marc first sat in with Al Smith and High Sierra Jazz Band in 1987 at age 13 so you might say he has been rehearsing for this job ever since. Marc started attending jazz concerts as a toddler listening to his dad, Dave Caparone, an accomplished classic jazz trombonist. Dave was instrumental in the establishment of the Basin Street Regulars, a Pismo Beach jazz club. The elder Caparone has performed at Jazzaffair many times with various outfits. In 1976, it was High Sierra that played the first club concert by a guest band for the local club at the Pismo Vets Hall. In those early days, Dave played with the iconic K.O. Eckland and the Pismo clubs house band, Desolation Jazz Ensemble.

The already low levels currently in the states reservoirs promise a gloomy summer for farmers and many communities.

Lake Kaweah is an example of whats going on up and down the Sierra Nevada. The local reservoir must now retain as much runoff as possible in the next few weeks as the snow rapidly melts. As of Thursday, April 10, the storage at Lake Kaweah was 33,600 acre feet (capacity is 185,000 acre feet). In Three Rivers, the total rainfall remains at 6.91 inches for the season. In 2009, the year-to-date total for Three Rivers was 7.09 inches on March 22; that year, it rained nearly 10 inches in the next two months.

High temperatures in the mid 80s and lows in the mid 50s thats as good as it gets for Jazzaffair, the biggest party of the year in these parts. It will cool some by mid-week. Weather forecasters are afraid to jinx the chance for a real rain so from Wednesday through Saturday they have a daily 10 percent chance of a shower in the foothills. Wishful thinking at best but without a good rain, the landscape will soon wither and become extremely fire dangerous.
Doreen Ennis Retired banker Templeton Eighth Jazzaffair Its the arrangement of Somewhere over the Rainbow, performed by Brian Casserly and Cornet Chop Suey. And the best venue to hear them play that song? St. Anthony Retreat.
Al Reed Retired aerospace engineer Huntington Beach Fifteenth Jazzaffair Ive always liked the jazz classic When the Saints Go Marching In, especially when its performed by the Night Blooming Jazzmen. Its exciting, all the parades with the parasols. Chet Jaeger just keeps on with the great stories and entertaining gigs.

Teri Jones Retired Seal Beach Eighth Jazzaffair Its when the front line of Cornet Chop Suey sing the jazz standard Cherry, written in 1928. You dont hear vocal harmony like that too often at these festivals and when Chop Suey harmonize, its really pretty.
Orange Blossom Special. Its a tune played by almost every band with a fiddle, but nobody plays it like Tom Rigney.
La Mer. Its a French tune that was first recorded in 1946 by its composer Charles Trenet. Nobody plays it better than Pieter Meijers [High Sierra JB leader] with his clarinet solo. An English language version has been recorded by a number of artists as Beyond the Sea.
Life Without

I have always prided myself on being a sensible Facebook user. I dont talk politics, dont discuss religion, stay far away from any squabbles. I appreciate being able to stay in touch with distant family members whom I would otherwise not communicate with on a regular basis. Now I know where I can find them if I need them. I like being in contact with
friends from my past lives Ive had about nine of them; lives, that is and from various aspects of my life: those Ive met through work, our mountain adventures, running, traveling, buddies from my school days, the favorite friends of my children now all grown up and doing amazing things, and others. In fact, I never knew I had so many friends. Around 300,
I believe. Its a high-schoolers dream to be as popular as I am. But Facebook has changed my life in ways Im not too crazy about. It takes a lot of time and nurturing to stay current with all these friends. Every. Single. Day. The time I used to spend reading, writing, or creating seems to now be spent scrolling Facebook. I have realized for some time now that Facebook is
media, and this tends to lead to time pressure and neglect of other activities, not to mention bad ergonomics and mental overload. Facebook is actually competition for a newspaper, so Im consorting with the enemy. If people want to sell anything from their house to puppies, these days it gets posted first on Facebook.

Facebook didnt make it an easy process to eliminate these virtual stalkers; purposefully, I assume. The site quickly bogged down and the list of people would rearrange itself, so I had to keep starting from the beginning and scroll through over and over again. After about 60 deletes of noncontributors, I didnt have the patience to continue. The next obvious choice was to consider Life Without Facebook. And so it shall be. I am going to de-tech. For the next 30 days at least, then Ill reevaluate if life is better or worse without my computer-generated social life. As a journalist, this might not be a good choice, and I have struggled with this for a while now. These days, sadly or otherwise, life happens on Facebook. Professionally, this could be a challenge. But now is as good a time as any. I am breaking up with my social network of virtual friends for an anti-social network (?) of enriched experiences with my real friends and family. Or maybe Ill just use my newfound time to clean house.

MARC CAPARONE
FAMILY: Marc Caparone lives in Paso Robles with his wife, Dawn, and two children, James, 3, and Emmaline, 1. PLACE OF BIRTH: San Luis Obispo. OCCUPATION: For the past 20 years, I have worked for our family business, Caparone Winery, which is the oldest winery under original ownership in Paso Robles. My dad started the business in 1979, and I came on full time there in 1994 after I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in history. I also do freelance work as a jazz trumpet player, specializing in early jazz and swing styles. I am a member of High Sierra Jazz Band. FAVORITE FOOD: Barbecue. FAVORITE MOVIE: Its a Gift with W.C. Fields. FAVORITE BOOK OR AUTHOR: Anything by H.L. Mencken. FAVORITE MUSIC: Oldies from the 1950s and 60s. DIVERSIONS / LEISURELY PURSUITS: In my spare time, I like to play with my kids. I also like kayaking and hiking, and I collect records and jazz books. YOUR BIO IN SIX WORDS: Everything is doable in B flat. IN 10 YEARS, I HOPE TO BE: Enjoying my family and playing jazz. PET PEEVE: Improper uses of the apostrophe. ROAD TO THREE RIVERS: My connection with Three Rivers has always been related to High Sierra Jazz Band. I started playing with the band off and on in 2009, but I have known them and heard the band almost my entire life. My dad is an accomplished jazz trombonist, so I grew up listening to classic jazz. In the mid 70s, my father and a few others (including the legendary K.O. Eckland) started the Basin Street Regulars, which is a jazz club based in Pismo Beach. Shortly after they started, the group began having monthly Sunday concerts, and the first band they invited was High Sierra. Eckland formed a house band for the Basin Street Regulars called the Desolation Jazz Ensemble, and my father played trombone with them. The DJE, as they were called, played at Jazzaffair and often at the Sierra Traditonal Jazz Club concerts, so I have many memories of Three Rivers from my childhood. I recall that the original High Sierra trombonist Vic Kimzeys daughters would babysit my brother and me while my parents attended jazz concerts in Three Rivers. I saw my first snow after attending Jazzaffair one year, I remember. Later, as a teenager, I started trying to play jazz on the trumpet and played with a few bands. Al Smith, then leader of High Sierra, was always very generous and encouraging and was one of the first band leaders to invite me up to sit in with the band when I was 13. With encouragement from the High Sierra guys and many other wonderful musicians, I was off and running and have played jazz nonstop since. I have been very fortunate to meet and work with a lot of fantastic musicians over the years and have traveled all over the U.S. and also Europe and Japan playing jazz. I have played extended gigs in New Orleans and also played quite a bit at Disney California Adventure Park. I met my beautiful wife Dawn, who plays piano and is a first-class vocalist, while on a gig, so jazz music has been very good to me. Nowadays, I work quite a bit with High Sierra Jazz Band, and I enjoy it very much. Every band member is a friend, and the energy and enthusiasm of the group is irresistible. I always like coming back to Three Rivers.

Spring outing on Sequoias Middle Fork Trail
Because of the foothills locale, the Middle Fork Trail, which parallels the main fork of the Kaweah River nearly to its headwaters, is an excellent springtime hike. To get to the trailhead, take the Generals Highway to Hospital Rock (just over 5 miles from the Sequoia entrance station), then take the Buckeye Flat Campground road for a half mile. When the road divides, stay left for another 1.3 miles. The road from here is dirt and a single lane. It ends at the trailhead.

CALIFORNIA STATE LAW requires contractors in categories defined in the Business and Professional Code to be registered with and licensed by the state, and licensed contractors must have their license number in all advertisements. These registration and licensing procedures provide certain protection and rights of recourse to customers contracting work with licensed contractors. The Kaweah Commonwealth newspaper does not approve qualifications of advertisers, but recommends that readers responding to advertisements placed in this classification request information from the advertiser as to license number or basis of exemption from license requirements before contracting work.

Jazz
continued from page 1
Dave Caparone said earlier this week that one of his favorite photos depicts a young Marc and his brother sound asleep in the front row at a Pismo jazz concert
559-289-8551
ca. 1977. For Marc, jazz became internalized in his subconscious during those formative years. Along the way, Marc also became a skilled winemaker and a vested owner of the Caparone Winery in Paso Robles. After more than three decades of winemaking, the Caparone red vintages are some of the best smalllot coastal wines available. Changes in jazz lineups occur frequently, and the musical chairs are occupied by relatively few musicians, who are members of a tightly knit and small community. Notice this year, for instance,
some more changes in Titan Hot Seven. Jeff Barnhart has departed and has been replaced on the piano by Jason Wanner, formerly of Blue Street. Both are extraordinarily talented musicians, and they have already been spotted jamming together at another jazz fest so dont be surprised to see the same at Jazzaffair. Bob Draga, who wont ever stop playing his hot clarinet, is another Titan alum and has evolved as a special guest thats likely to play with any band at any time. He loves to jam with the kids, and the youth bands see Draga as a living legend.
Among the things that will never change at Jazzaffair is the camaraderie among the musicians, how much they love playing in Three Rivers, and the admiration they have for High Sierra and the local jazz community. And this year is one of those rare years when even the weather is cooperating. Let the good times roll on and on and on!
