His experi- ence as Producer and Director of his own theatre "CENTE R STAGE" in Hollywood has provided him with valuable back- ground for his work as a community theatre director. Some of his credits in this area include "BAREFOOT IN THE PARK," "SEPARATE TABLES," "PAINT YOUR WAGON," "CUR- IOUS SAVAGE," "KISS ME KATE," and "MAME." He has won two trophies as Best Director in this area, and is also familiar in this community for his work with Children's Theatre.

He has toured the U.S., in- cluding Hawaii, and Canada presenting musical programs for High School assemblies, has sung over the radio, and has ap- peared on television in conjunction with concert stage appear- ances. For a year he hosted musical vat ietv shows over TV Channel 3 in Eureka. Portrayal of Count Detleff marks Jeff's first appearance in a West Valley Light Opera production. JOHN P. HEALY, JR. (Prince Karl Franz) A native New Yorker,John migrated to California six years ago. He started his music theatre training at the Santa Clara Youth Village Players, has since performed with the San Jose Light Opera, the Campbell District Players, and the West Valley Light Opera Association. He played Big Jim in "Little Mary Sunshine," Sandor in "The Fortune Teller," and Chari ie Dalrymple in "Briqedoo n," in addi ton to other musicals. John founded the CABRINI COMMUNITY THEATRE last May, and has directed sevor- of their plays. He sang as soloist in "The Messiah" of the Junior Music Festival of Santa Clara County. A professional cell ist with the San Jose Symph- ony, John is studv inq at Stanford, where as may be expected, he is interested in musical theatre.

    East Bay Banjo Club Since 1963 July / August 2017 Members Newsletter Volume 12 Issue 4 President’s Message By John Greitzer Events Calendar It is amazing how quickly the summer flies by. As I write this column, school is almost in session (it may be already for some), daylight doesn’t last quite as long in the evening, and there’s a hint of fall in the Sunday, September 10 night air (at least, as close as we get to “fall” here in the Bay Area). East Bay Banjo Club Board of Directors meeting The older we get, the more everything speeds up and flies by. Round Table Pizza 1938 Oak Park Boulevard Speaking of speeding up, our club tried an interesting experiment at Pleasant Hill one of our recent Sunday practices. Bud Pearce brought in his MIDI 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (“musical instrument digital interface”) via his smart phone, and we used it as a lead player and metronome to play our songs to. The MIDI played the melody and the club played rhythm along with it. The first few times we tried it, the club kept speeding up and outpacing the MIDI www.eastbaybanjo.org melody by a couple of measures. The MIDI program keeps perfect time, so the fault was definitely ours. By the fourth or fifth time we tried a song, we did better. This experiment was a striking reminder To book the East Bay Banjo of how difficult timing can be. Practicing to a metronome helps, but Club to play at your event, that’s just you and the metronome.
