The concert should last about 1½ hours, and the public is welcome, so if anyone wants to come up to La Jolla, enjoy a bit of classical music, and then go out to Following is the concert program: Claude Debussy: Flower Child, Impressionist, Revolutionary Joanne Regenhardt, Narrator About Claude Debussy Claude Debussy (1862-1918), a French composer, one of the most important impressionist composers (even though he himself disliked the term), is also one of the more prominent composers from late 1890s and early 1900s. Debussy began piano lessons at the age of 7, and at the age of 10 was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire where he studied for 11 years. In 1884 he won the prestigious Prix de Rome with his composition L'Enfant prodigue. His win resulted in a scholarship to the Académie des Beaux-Arts, which included a four-year residence at the Villa Medici, the French Academy in Rome. Much of his later music displayed harmonies and chords featuring dissonances that were never musically resolved. His harmonies, considered radical in his day, were influential to almost every major composer of the 20th century.
Performer Biographies Joanne Regenhardt, narrator, has been known to San Diego audiences since 1955 when she represented San Diego in the San Francisco opera auditions and began signing with Starlight Opera. She has sung concerts throughout Southern California both in oratorio and in solo peformances withy symphony orchestras and in recitals. Her book of poetry, "Soundings," was published in 2002.

For those coming into town for the 2009 Convention of the National Association of Realtors, I will be performing in my chamber music group on Friday afternoon, November 13, at 4:00 p.m., at the Pacific Regent in La Jolla, 3890 Nobel Drive.
tour La Jolla afterwards and possibly have something to eat, call Russel Ray at 619-341-0173 (he also happens to be my page turner for the concert). Keep in
mind that the best touring is during daylight hours, and darkness gets here around 6:00 p.m. now, but there are lots of good places to eat in La Jolla, especially if price is no object.

The time between Halloween and New Year's Day also happens to be the time of the year when a great many home fires occur since it's also the heating season and a lot of cooking gets done for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and those New Year's Day football games. The National Fire Protection Association ranks cooking as the #1 cause of home fires, which surprised me since I don't cook. I knew that cigarettes, candles, heating equipment, and extension cords were high on the list. Let's take a look at cooking, though, and what we can do to prevent cooking fires:

....and that means that we start lighting up our homes earlier and earlier.
Don't wear clothes with loose-fitting sleeves, or roll the sleeves up when cooking, especially with an open-flame gas appliance.
Many people install microwaves above the stove and below the cabinet. Sometimes, though, it doesn't leave enough clearance between the bottom of the microwave and the top of the burners, causing heat damage to the bottom of the microwave and forcing you to reach over hot pots or burners to get to those rear burners. If you don't think you have enough clearance, you probably don't. Move the microwave, get a different microwave, or have the microwave raised.
The same goes for a fire in your oven. Keep the door closed and turn off the oven off.

My Buyers fell in love with it but told me, "We want to look around some more" even though it was exactly what they told me they were looking for, and the price was right -- more than right actually. Late that night I noticed that the MLS had been changed from ACTIVE to PENDING. Ooops. Now I had to send that heart-wrenching email to my Clients telling them. They were so heart-broken that they quit looking for a new home. Remember that I told you these top-floor condominiums with ocean- and golf-course-views in Mission Valley don't come along very often. The unit they were looking at has fallen out of escrow and is back on the market. I guess you know that I already sent my Clients an email..... AND GOT A POSITIVE REPONSE!

Unfortunately, top floor condominiums with ocean- and golf course-views in Mission Valley that are priced right -- or wrong! -- don't stay on the market for any length of time, and this one didn't either.

Most of the time when I go with Clients to show a property, the MLS listing sheet has warned me ahead of time:
Give it time to settle down and talk to it in a calm, soothing voice.
If a stray dog comes up to you, especially a larger one, stay calm and stand still. Don't run and don't look directly at the dog; use your peripheral vision to keep an eye on it. Wait until it's gone before you move.
Leave cats and dogs alone while they are sleeping. They sleep when and where they feel safe, so unexpected noises or touching can frighten them unnecessarily, perhaps resulting in a defensive bite or scratch.
