In Praise of Donna

Hug someone you love right now

Iwatch myself, outside myself. I sit at my cluttered desk. I engage in avoidant behaviors: online shopping for unnecessary things; arranging the perfumed, lovely lilacs from our yard; chatting with a friend I haven’t talked to in forever. These actions are all to avoid today’s topic: the terminal diagnosis of one of my dear friends, Donna Falls. She has started hospice as I write this. We missed Donna earlier this year when she went on a several-week trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, arranged by the Transformational Journeys program at All Saints Church (ASC). Ken and I know Donna because we’re all ardent ASC Coventry choir members; Donna is my alto section seat buddy. We laugh, share pencils, get lost together, chat on the sly and harmonize. If we’d been in fifth grade together, we would have been regularly sent to the principal’s office.

openly. Our trusted and beloved in delicate matters choirmate, Matt Berkley, shared that he’d visited Donna to discuss which pieces of music she wants at her memorial. I can’t even write that sentence without getting choked up. Whatever the music, I’ll need it in advance to practice crying through it. Singing with each other is the most comforting thing I can imagine.

The first indication of something wrong with Donna was severe pain, which at the time was blamed on a UTI she must have contracted during the Vietnamese trip. Her choir family didn’t know anything was amiss until those of us who streamed or attended that week’s ASC Sunday service heard Donna’s name in the “Please pray for…” section. We immediately called Donna, who delivered the terrible news and reason for the prayer request: her UTI had disguised advanced pancreatic cancer that had already spread.

Initially, Donna thought she should spend whatever time she had left by moving to Florida to be with her daughter, Catherine Story. Donna’s choir family — because family is what we are — had a hard time with that plan. The doctors agreed that Florida wasn’t a good idea. Instead, Catherine and Donna’s granddaughter Hillary are with Donna in Monrovia to help her for now … and where we can bring her soup.

Donna was in too much pain to attend choir practice last Thursday when the senior rector of ASC, Mike Kinman, spoke to us. As a country and community, we have experienced so much loss. It’s hard to imagine what it must be like for Reverend Kinman, who is the terminus of so much bad news and raw human life and death experience. That’s his job. Thanks to Mike, we all had the opportunity to weep

In the past couple of years, I have experienced loss on a personal level. For example, I lost my eldest sister Alane. I was convinced I couldn’t live without her, and I’m still here. I discovered the body of one of our besties when she didn’t show up for our standing Monday-night meal. I’ve lived through an excruciating 12-year cancer battle that my late niece Ann de Paolo fought with all her might. These were all difficult, but knowing that someone I adore is about to exit is, in some ways, even more so. I suspect many of us feel this way: how do we confront knowing that this person we love only has a rapidly decreasing amount of time left with us?

Some people start to act weird or go on the lam when dealing with terminal friends and loved ones. There are also people with terminal diagnoses that hide out, who have had it up to their eyebrows with unsolicited advice. “Have you tried…?” or “My auntie Bertha died of that, too!” These Helpy McHelpersons are so tone-deaf that they chase their loved ones away, who need support, not advice. Thankfully, Donna is so well-loved in the ASC community that she already has a support team running interference. We now contact Donna’s friend (and ASC stalwart) Erica Tamblyn and/or hospice help before we take soup over or, as we did yesterday, a smorgasbord of edibles for Donna to try.

When we visited yesterday, Donna was thankfully still Donna with her darling, sparkling eyes, warm smile and best hugs. Gracious, funny, kind, with just the right scintilla of silly. I came dangerously close to holding her hand too much. I also knew she was too nice to kick us out, so I kicked us out before we wore her out.

The late great poet Mary Oliver is eloquent about nature and the brevity of life. Here’s an excerpt of the last three stanzas from her poem, “When Death Comes.”

When it’s over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it’s over, I don’t want to wonder If I have made of my life something particular and real. I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened or full of argument.

I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.

When Donna’s time comes, I will mourn her as I pretend she’s on another very long visit to Vietnam, a place she adored.

End of an Era

The Coffee Gallery closes after Bob Stane falls ill

ANitty Gritty Dirt Band founder, John McEuen remembers the first time he met area legend Bob Stane.

“He was the first guy who paid me to play music in 1965,” McEuen recalled. “It made me realize, ‘Hey, you can make money at this game.’”

Stane recently closed Coffee Gallery Backstage in Altadena due to health reasons. He previously ran The Ice House in Glendale and Pasadena.

“It’s definitely been a heartbreaking chapter,” said Lance Frantzich of the Storytellers, who helped with marketing Coffee Gallery Backstage.

“We’ve only known Bob for five years, and I can’t even imagine what people who have been a part of him and Coffee Gallery for 25 years must be feeling.”

There has been an outpouring of support from the music community about Stane, especially on Facebook.

“Our beloved friend and champion of music and the people who make it, Bob Stane, has let go of the reins of the legendary Coffee Gallery Backstage in Altadena,” wrote John York of the Byrds.

“For more than 60 years Bob has presented quality music shows every night of the week, as well as weekend matinees; starting at The Ice House in Pasadena and continuing at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, he has been the guiding spirit and driving wheel at the heart of a completely unique musical experience that will be remembered and cherished by the artists who have worked with Bob and the audiences who were fortunate enough to attend his concerts over the years.”

Songwriter Harriet Schock said she owes her career to Stane.

“I am immeasurably grateful,” she wrote on the Coffee Gallery Backstage’s Facebook page.

“It’s not an overstatement to say that Bob Stane is responsible for my 50year career in the music business. When

he had The Ice House, I performed there and got both of my major label record deals. That led to everything else — the covers, seven more albums, film and TV work, everything. I also made my live album at the Coffee Gallery Backstage. Without his guidance and support, today I might be asking if you want fries with that.

“I — and the rest of the business not only here in LA, but also around the world — owe Bob Stane a tremendous thank you. Bob, you’ve helped a whole generation of singer-songwriters. We all love you more than you can imagine.”

Frantzich’s band the Storytellers was one of the final acts to play the Coffee Gallery Backstage.

“We had a feeling, and we don’t know why,” he said. “We played on April 21. That ended up being the last weekend of Coffee Gallery Backstage. We had said on our last promo that this could be the last time we play there. How horribly right we were. We wanted to do something very special for this last show.”

Frantzich called the 49-person capacity Coffee Gallery Backstage a gorgeous room with perfect sound.

“Inside is painted beautifully like some coffee bean warehouse in Central America,” he said.

“Bob was always there, and he was there early. When we played on April 21, he wasn’t there, which we thought was weird. Somebody showed up and told us he was hospitalized, that he wasn’t going to be there. I was really concerned. That evening, not having Bob there, that was really weird.

“Not having Bob there at the show really showed us you really only know the depth of how important he is to the whole thing when he was there and this last time he wasn’t. He wasn’t there to do his ceremonial dimming of the lights that he always does.

“It’s truly the end of an era.”

Discovering the Universe

Carnegie Observatories changes the trajectory of astronomy

Santa Barbara Street in Pasadena is just a street to most. But ask any astronomer in the world, and they will know it instantly as Carnegie Observatories, the birthplace of modern astronomy and the discovery of the universe.

Those more familiar with the California Institute of Technology or NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have Carnegie Observatories and Hale, one of Caltech’s three founding members, to thank.

“We are the center of astronomical research in the world. More astronomy research happens in Pasadena than anywhere else,” Mulchaey noted. In 2015, Pasadena was even dubbed the “City of Astronomy” by the mayor and local officials.

The oldest-running scientific organization in Pasadena began in 1904 by George Ellery Hale with the support of Andrew Carnegie’s Carnegie Institution for Science. Hale, an astronomer at the University of Chicago, was drawn to Southern California because of its clear skies and Mediterranean climate, perfect for viewing the stars.

Soon after, in the mountains overlooking Pasadena, Hale began the Mount Wilson Observatory, outfitted with two of the largest telescopes in the world at the time.

“All of our modern understanding of astronomy happened at those telescopes,”

said Dr. John Mulchaey, science deputy of the Carnegie Institution for Science and the director and Crawford H. Greenewalt chair of the Carnegie Observatories.

Indeed, a hundred years ago, the universe was considered small, and astronomers believed our galaxy was alone in space. In 1923, Edwin Hubble made two of the most significant astronomical discoveries in 400 years since Nicolaus Copernicus, who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun at the center rather than the Earth, and Galileo Galilei, who pioneered the use of the telescope for observing the night sky.

Before Hubble, most people thought the universe was a single collection of stars — what we call the Milky Way now. While observing Andromeda, a fuzzy smudge in the night sky, Hubble noticed a star that would periodically dim and brighten called a Cepheids. This star allowed him to calculate the distance between Earth and Andromeda, which led to the striking discovery that Andromeda, which was thought to be in our galaxy, was much farther away.

Hubble discovered that there were, in fact, other galaxies, effectively discovering the universe. Not only that, but Hubble also uncovered that the universe was expanding, meaning it had to have had a beginning, which was a crucial piece in the Big Bang Theory.

“All modern astronomy is based on those two results,” Mulchaey said. Before this discovery, even Einstein theorized that the universe was static — a theory he would later refer to as his “biggest blunder.” As the universe continues to expand, astronomers now believe that are some two trillion galaxies in the universe, spanning over 90 billion light-years.

In the first half of the 20th century, Carnegie Observatories’ astronomers collected data almost exclusively from Mount Wilson. But as Los Angeles grew, so did the light pollution, concealing the stars and making deep-sky astronomy impossible. Mulchaey explained that when looking up at the night sky in Pasadena, one might see 50 stars instead of the thousands visible before.

In the 1960s, Carnegie Observatories purchased 82 square miles in Chile’s Atacama Desert, now home to the Las Campanas Observatory, including the Swope Telescope, the du Pont Telescope, and the Magellan Telescope, two identical single-mirror reflecting telescopes. The desert’s bone-dry air and ink-black skies are prime conditions for visibility.

While most data are collected from telescopes in Chile and in space like the Hubble and James Webb Telescopes, the Pasadena campus is where the numbers are crunched and discoveries are made. The campus also features an on-site machine shop, where engineers, astronomers and other experts build instrumentation for telescopes in Chile; the Hale Library, a historical library with a large physics and astronomy-related collection used to support further research; and the Plate Vault, the second largest collection of astronomical glass plates in the nation, which includes more than 200,000 glass plate negatives, featuring solar plates, spectra and direct object images.

Along with a consortium of other institutions and universities, Carnegie Observatories is currently working on the 80foot Giant Magellan Telescope in Chile.

When completed around 2030, it will be 200 times more powerful than any existing ground-based telescope.

The Giant Magellan Telescope follows the questions that those looking to the sky have asked since the dawn of humanity: who are we, and are we alone? The telescope will search for signs of life on Earth-like planets and investigate the mysteries of black holes, dark matter, and the universe’s origin.

“I’m very optimistic that we’re going to see evidence of life with this telescope in the next decade or two; it’s not that far away. It’s super exciting,” Mulchaey predicted.

Community members are invited to the Carnegie Observatories Lecture Series held in the Rothenberg Auditorium at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens to learn more about Carnegie Observatories and the research conducted on Santa Barbara Street. The last two lectures in the series, “A Century of Distance Measures” and “Dark Matter Physics in the Sky,” will be held Monday, May 8, and Monday, May 22, respectively.

Heirlooms in the Making

San Gabriel’s premier fashion house, OV Paris creates timeless couture

In the age of fast fashion, Orelie Varnier is taking things slow. After working with some of the most notable haute couture designers of the 20th century, including Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior and Pierre Cardin, Varnier relocated to San Gabriel to begin her own fashion house, OV Paris.

Like her predecessors, Varnier and her team create chic custom and ready-towear garments meant to last a lifetime. “The highest quality is what I want to give to my clients,” Varnier explained. Anything a customer can dream up, Varnier can create — from wedding dresses to casual day wear.

The process of creating a custom piece is wholly collaborative. “We create unique pieces together,” Varnier said of her customers. In addition to a more comfortable fit and personalized style, costume clothing, especially for significant life events, will last long enough to become heirlooms.

While many resort to repurchasing poorly made clothing that often falls apart after a few washes, Varnier offers an alternative — custom, quality clothing that will stand the test of time. Varnier compares the wash-and-toss culture of fast fashion to her youth when a pair of shoes might last someone 10 years.

Born in the French countryside city of Le Mans, 124 miles southwest of Paris, Varnier was captivated by the glamour of couture and began drawing religiously at a young age.

At 16, Varnier implored her mother to send her to fashion school in Paris. Although her family could not afford tuition, Varnier was determined and traveled to Paris alone during a school break. With only her sketches in hand and no money, Varnier had one day to convince some of the largest fashion houses in the world to take her on.

By chance, Varnier bumped into famed designer Pierre Cardin’s assistant, who was impressed by Varnier’s drawings and scrappy attitude and hired her to apprentice during school breaks. Cardin personally trained Varnier, offering her a job following her apprenticeship.

When asked about her nonconventional route into fashion, Varnier responded, “I had no choice. If I wanted to be different than

others, I needed to show who I was, what I wanted to do and how motivated I was.”

After working for Cardin for 13 years, Varnier left in 2013 with her garment construction and design prowess. Soon after, she began working as a seamstress for Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Chanel.

In 2019, Varnier felt ready to start her own fashion house, OV Paris, and came to Los Angeles to develop her brand. It had always been Varnier’s dream to live in the United States. When she was 5 years old, Varnier prophetically told her mother she would live in California one day. Varnier’s childhood dream came to fruition four years ago — six months before the pandemic.

“Everything was great,” Varnier said, and it was. She was working for Tom Ford and Chanel in Beverly Hills, and her skills were in high demand. But after March 2020, the fashion houses, like many other businesses, shut their doors.

“But I never stopped,” Varnier relayed. Just as she had done at 16, Varnier persisted, building her brand and curating her social media presence. Varnier now works globally with stylists and private clients from LA, Miami, Paris and New York.

Positive Spin

Sublime with Rome recalls past with new tour

For singer/guitarist Rome Ramirez, performing with Sublime never gets old — especially in front of crowds like those at BeachLife Festival in Redondo Beach.

“I’m still in shock that I’m invited to play things like this in front of all those people,” Ramirez said.

“I don’t see how anybody can take this for granted. Looking out at all these people singing back to me and moving to the music is amazing. It does something to you. It changes your inner workings — at least it should. It’s a moving type of experience. I feel like it can definitely ground you.”

BeachLife Festival is set for Friday, May 5, to Sunday, May 7, and also features performances by the Black Keys, Gwen Stefani and the Black Crowes. Sublime with Rome plays on Saturday, May 6.

Additionally, there will be wide-ranging food and drink offerings from acclaimed chefs and local breweries; onstage dining experiences; art installations; and on-site activations highlighting various philanthropic causes, eco-friendly and sustainable initiatives.

While music takes center stage at BeachLife Festival, The Daou SideStage Experience provides foodies the chance to be seated onstage — literally — and served a four-course meal by celebrity chefs while musicians perform.

The gig will see Sublime with Rome playing the band’s debut album, “40 oz. to Freedom,” in its entirety. Ramirez joined in late 2010 after Sublime’s original singer, Bradley James Nowell, died of an over-

dose on May 25, 1996, in a San Francisco hotel while on tour.

Ramirez was a self-proclaimed “huge fan” of Sublime before he joined.

“I was the biggest fan in the world,” he said. “It’s still full circle for me, because I had Sublime posters up on my wall. We’ve been touring around for 15 years, getting to play music. I’m the face of the band and its sound. It’s unbelievable that I was gifted that opportunity. I don’t take it for granted, and it’s a really beautiful thing. To celebrate its 25th anniversary is a special thing for any Sublime fan.”

Throughout the 14 years Ramirez has been in the band, he has performed most of “40 oz. to Freedom” live. He doesn’t expect it to be too challenging.

“I’ve had to go back and relisten to everything and knock the dust off,” he said with a laugh.

“It’s been a learning experience. I’ve been playing them back to help remind me of how awesome Sublime is. It’s so monumental, and it has so many different sounds. It’s a magical thing, getting to do it from front to back.”

Sublime with Rome is working on a new record, one that Ramirez calls “nostalgic.”

“We’re focusing on instrumentation and jamming, like we do live, and the subject matter is a little more lighthearted,” he said.

“It’s carefree, celebrating the life that we live. Why not? We’ve been having some crazy years as of late. It’s nice to put positivity out there.”

A Collaborative Journey

M83 is set to take the stage at Just Like Heaven

Anthony Gonzalez of the French electronic music act M83 wants to take fans on a sonically induced journey with his newest album, “Fantasy.”

M83 is set to perform at the Just Like Heaven music festival at Brookside at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, May 13. Gonzalez will play alongside other iconic electro dance groups and indie rock bands like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MGMT, Future Islands, Empire of the Sun, Hot Chip and the recently reunited NYC band The Walkmen.

While this is Gonzalez’s first time playing the festival, as a Los Angeles resident, he is no stranger to Pasadena, where he plays soccer weekly. “I’m excited to play Pasadena. It’s a city that I really enjoy going to,” he said.

This is M83’s first tour in seven years since releasing the 2016 album “Junk.” Gonzalez likens going on tour to being on a class trip with all his friends. “It’s a different way of living. The idea of being on the road is very romantic,” Gonzalez explained. The tour’s first leg began in early April in Phoenix and will conclude on Saturday, May 20, in Guadalajara, Mexico, before moving to Europe from June to August.

Gonzalez, along with his band — drummer Loïc Maurin, pianist Kaela Sinclair, saxophonist Joe Berry, and multi-instrumentalist and producer Jordan Lawlor — will perform a mixture of songs from the new album in addition to older fan favorites. And, like the album, the show is meant to be a fully immersive experience.

“We’re trying to take them on a journey with lights, music — big moments of instrumentals along with more pop moments — so there’s a bit of everything. It’s a very eclectic show,” he said.

The second track of “Fantasy,” “Oceans Niagara,” is Gonzalez’s favorite song to play live. An incredibly cinematic piece, “Oceans Niagara,” as its name suggests, takes on the idea of movement, turning the crowd into a literal sea of people, oscillating with every synth reverberation. In a song whose only lyrics are “beyond adventure,” “Oceans Niagara” lets the music speak for itself.

At over an hour long, “Fantasy” feels secure in its unhurried progression. After all, this is Gonzalez’s ninth studio album, and after over 20 years in the industry, he has nothing to prove. The tracks on the al-

bum slowly come into focus, building up from long, sweeping intros to layered crescendos of harmony and washes of guitars, following equally meandering outros.

“This is what this album is about — patience. It’s a long and ambitious album,” Gonzalez remarked. “The idea is to provide something that’s going to take some time to digest and assimilate. … It’s a very old school, old-fashioned way of promoting my music, but I like that.”

Gonzalez is known for creating large, cinematic soundscapes, composing scores for French director Gilles Marchand’s “Black Heaven” and the American post-apocalyptic action-adventure film “Oblivion.” This cinematic quality is a throughline in his discography but is especially evident in “Fantasy,” which envelopes listeners in large, all-encompassing soundscapes.

“In order to write music or write a song or be creative, I have to be fed with inspiration,” he said, and indeed Gonzalez has been feeding himself for years through music and films. He cites influential cinema auteurs like Terrence Malick, Yasujirō Ozu and David Lynch as long-running inspirations. “The romanticism and nostalgia around movies are really impactful,” Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez’s idea was for the album to be a true collaboration between artist and listener, with a “build-your-own-adventure” atmosphere. He wanted fans to be able to insert themselves into whatever lush story unfolds during the listening.

“I just wanted to create an album that is going to take the listener on a journey but also leaves the listener free to use their own imagination, imagining their own stories and characters around the music I’m providing.”

Even after nine albums, Gonzalez explained that making an album never gets “easier.” “I still learn from every album I make. …There were moments of pure joy and happiness and moments of pure struggle. … It’s peaks and valleys, where sometimes you feel extremely confident about yourself, and sometimes you feel like crap,” Gonzalez said candidly.

The music industry has changed immensely since Gonzalez started his career in the early aughts with the advent of streaming services and social media. In this album, Gonzalez grapples with staying current while sitting securely in an entrenched career, concluding, “I can’t complain. My life is amazing — I make music for a living.”

‘The Grateful Dead of Alternative Rock’ The Pixies swing into town for BeachLife

There’s no mistaking the blunt-force melody of the Pixies, as singular a sound as ever committed in seven decades of rock ’n’ roll.

Formed in Boston by college pals in the waning ’80s, the band, originally consisting of Black Francis, aka Frank Black (pseudonyms of singer/guitarist Charles Thompson); guitarist Joey Santiago; bassist/vocalist Kim Deal; and drummer David Lovering, the foursome hooked anti-pop idiosyncrasy around limber reverb and distortion to escape teeth first from a cultural big bang that would spit out fresh worlds of alternative rock, hip-hop, metal, No Depression country music, and electronica.

my T-shirt out and filled a Dixie cup with the sweat because it was nerve-wracking. But magic has been wonderful because it builds confidence. The years that I’ve done it, you’re dealing one on one with people, and it just changes you. I could do public speaking now at a whim — it’s just the easiest thing in the world — and it’s all because of magic. I’m very grateful to it.”

In 2004, the Pixies announced their return with a tour culminating in a 20-song set at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, that mined cuts from the four seminal albums “Surfer Rosa” (1988), “Doolittle” (1989), “Bossanova” (1990) and “Trompe Le Monde” (1991).

Maybe the Pixies didn’t reinvent fire, but they certainly found new ways to burn across four exceptional full-lengths (no strings being pulled on the vanguard “Come On Pilgrim” EP) that inspired a subsequent legion of artists. Sadly, the center couldn’t hold, and the band broke up in 1993 with members fending off calls for a reunion amid other pursuits.

David Lovering, who post-Pixies continued to drum off and on with Frank Black and Santiago (in the Martinis) as well as for Cracker and various others, found a second life in the realm of magic and illusion, reinventing himself as a scientific phenomenalist who combined a background in electrical engineering with performance art and comedy.

“With the Pixies, I’m behind a drum set and I’m behind three people, and I’ve never had a problem with that,” Lovering said.

“My first magic show was just myself and 10 people — and I could’ve wrung

“I think when we got back together then in 2004, there was a lot of discussion of the way this was going to be for one tour, this and that, and it kept going — and it kept going. We had just been going on our old laurels,” Lovering said 19 years after the Pixies reformed.

“We’d been playing the old material for seven years, and it got us thinking. I think the epiphany in 2011 was, ‘Wow, we can’t do this anymore. We have to do something new.’ And that’s how ‘Indie Cindy’ came about.”

Initially released as a series of EPs, “Indie Cindy” resurrected the Pixies as creators, this time without Deal, to prove themselves amid an alt-rock landscape they’d pioneered in another century.

“People talk of pressure, and I think that we had some internal pressure just thinking about it — you’re thinking, ‘Oh, jeez, this album has to be as good as the last one we did!’ So, there was that,” Lovering said. “But there was no formulation. I’m not saying we didn’t put our best forward,

but there wasn’t anything to upstage it. There wasn’t a conscious effort to make it better than what we had or to go back and top that. It was just what we were doing at that point.”

The band recalibrated in 2016 with the album “Head Carrier” (so named for decapitated martyr St. Denis), adding soonto-be-permanent bassist Paz Lenchantin (A Perfect Circle, Silver Jews, Jenny Lewis) as well as producer Tom Dalgety into the mix.

“Paz is a fantastic player, she’s a great musician, just a great person overall — wonderful to be around,” Lovering said. “She’s so good. She makes me step up my game and play better because I don’t want to be embarrassed. It was a nice breath of something new, and I think we were jokingly calling it ‘Pixies Version 2.0’ or something like that, but it’s been fantastic. She’s definitely given everyone — because she is younger — a spark.”

“Beneath The Eyrie” followed in 2019, along with what was supposed to be a globe-spanning tour. But COVID-19 and the ensuing pandemic sent the Pixies home, grounded but not necessarily uncertain. For Lovering, the unexpected

break provided an opportunity for carpal tunnel surgery on both hands, which in addition to rejuvenating his drumming also provided enhanced dexterity for the magician’s ever-improving card tricks and sleight of hand.

“Doggerel,” the Pixies’ latest effort, could be their strongest post-reunion album to date. Realized through a combination of quarantine tracking and sessions at Vermont’s Guilford Sound, “Doggerel” is this incarnation at their most mature and fluid. Santiago has called the record “Doolittle Senior,” though tracks like “Nomatterday,” “Vault of Heaven,” “Haunted House” and the Leonard Cohen-dipped title track evoke classic Pixies mythology without recycling. This isn’t nostalgia; it’s experience.

“We all played very, very well on (‘Doggerel’). I think that’s Joey’s comment, why it was like ‘Doolittle.’ And I think that the song content that Charles came up with is exceptional. I think that “Doggerel” stands out (as) different than all the albums from after the reformation,” Lovering said. “We’re getting older. Not all music that we’re going to do is going to be heralded back to what we’ve done in the

For the best homes, all signs point to ™

past, but it’s where we are in our lives. We’re better musicians, and I think that showed, especially with a producer (Tom Dalgety), who now is working with us for a third album, who knows us.”

As the Pixies prepare for their latest tour, Lovering is excited to share “Doggerel,” but equally energized by the challenge of playing no set list shows that will pull from every pocket of the band’s catalog.

“I think we’ve perfected it,” Lovering said of the no set list approach. “We call it our schtick because we know what the first song is and our soundman knows what the first song is and our lighting director knows what the first song is. After that, it’s all just by Charles and us with hand signals or him talking to a microphone that we only hear. We’re able to coordinate the show and work it and go through songs, and I must admit it’s fun. You don’t know when the set’s going to

end!”

But Lovering’s true joy comes from seeing the band’s unfolding legacy reflected in the new (and growing) generation of Pixies fans.

“Back in 2004 when we played Coachella, it was a sea of kids that weren’t even born, probably, when we were originally a band — but they knew all the words,” Lovering said with a laugh.

“When I look at our audience before the doors open, it’s a sea of kids that are 15, 16, 17, 18, and going up from there. And they’re waiting to get in for general admission to get in that front row! To see a whole front row with kids in there, that know all the words to the new material — and people my age are in the back waiting for all the old stuff, it’s something else to see. That’s our audience now, and I feel very fortunate as a band to have it. I feel like we’re the Grateful Dead of alternative rock.”

Honor and Heritage Group exhibit showcases Armenian artists

Los Angeles has long been home to a thriving community of Armenian artists whose work is infused with passionate visages of people, landscapes and cuisine from the other side of the world. Local creatives like Glendale painter Shahin Mastian and Pasadena musician and sculptor Tigran Martikyan seek to share meaningful stories through their work, which will be showcased in a group exhibit at Napulitanamente Magazine Los Angeles’ Mediterranean Cocktail of Art event on Thursday, May 4.

Born in Iran to an Armenian family, Mastian’s childhood curiosity led him toward the fields of engineering and mathematics, though he always felt a strong connection to the arts. He would often paint watercolor landscapes, using his brush to decode the world around him.

he was 22 and settling into his new home, where he now works as a software development consultant, Mastian started to take his passion for painting more seriously. He

was inspired by masters like Vincent van Gogh, George Seurat, Paul Signac and Claude Monet, but wanted to find his own “Mastian” style.

“One day, I was looking at a painting … and I’m asking myself, ‘Why is this good?’” he said. “Then it came to me that I felt good about it because the image was not a perfect image. The image gives an abstract, general view of what it should be. It allows the viewer to complete the rest.

“When you look at any painting or you look at the world, you see yourself; you build what you want to see in reality, so what I create is basically the trigger of where to start from for the viewers. … I went back into my own paintings and repainted in a different way.”

Mastian described himself as an impressionistic pointillist who especially loves painting rainy night scenes, where lights and colors dance in mirror-like puddles or waterways.

In the Mediterranean Cocktail of Art exhibition, he will be displaying seven paintings that depict Mount Ararat with the lights of Armenian capital Yerevan in the distance, Rome’s coliseum at night, the canals of Venice, New York City in the rain, Paris’ Champs-Élysées, and two images of flamenco dancers in a nightclub.

“When I want to paint something, the painting is already created in my mind, in my soul, in my emotions, in my view … and so the rest is externalizing, bringing it to the world,” Mastian said. “I love life and happiness. I want to project a happy

image in my paintings.”

For Armenian-born Martikyan, whose award-winning career as a pianist and composer has brought him to esteemed venues like Carnegie Hall, his journey into sculpture began when he became a caretaker for his mother.

“I was isolated from the people that I know, friends and relatives,” Martikyan described. “My focus was my mother and I wanted to do something creative. I wanted to make something, and I chose sculpture because the 3D form of sculpture was appealing.

“I wanted to see a piece of art … that I can feel like I’m with people. I wanted to create a face (that) will kind of give me a company so that I’m not alone.”

Martikyan began to explore and study different forms to try to breathe as much life into his sculptures as possible. He had always been interested in the human figure and wanted to give his artworks a “soul” of their own.

He will be presenting four of his sculptures in the Mediterranean Cocktail of Art exhibition. They depict an Armenian grandmother with a cross hanging around her neck, a composer musing over his metallic piano, a tooth whose roots form arms that clean itself with a brush and toothpaste, and a little girl in a ballerina-like dress standing against a wall with her hands opened and a smile on her face.

“This one I wanted to call ‘Peace,’” Martikyan said. “The little girl is … relaxed, and she just wants everybody else to live in peace. That’s the message.”

From abstract paintings to human-like sculptures, Napulitanamente Magazine’s Mediterranean Cocktail of Art will provide a platform for an array of Armenian voices and brushes. Editor Ingrid Pagliarulo described it as a rich combination of cultures and influences.

“There is a strong feeling of being Armenian that they have, and this feeling emits from their artworks,” she said. “Even if (Mastian) paints Italian cities or New York or cities from France, there is always the feeling, like the passion. … That kind of passion, that kind of way to express his feelings, his way to feel a place, to feel a scenery, is like poetry. … (When) you see his paintings, … you see a world. You don’t see just the scene; you can feel the world around it.

“Tigran is like a genius in the piano. He’s able to express it also through his sculptures. He’s very attached to classical shapes … and respect of the shapes, respect of nature and of the nature of shapes. I believe that artists have to be philosophers, and then through their philosophy, their thoughts, there comes the talent to express what they are thinking.”

The multi-art event, produced by Low Pulse Project, will also feature the work of photographers Karine Armen and Flavio Sanguinetti with music by Daniele De Cario and guest soprano Era Kayln. For Pagliarulo, who was born in Naples, Italy, it provides an opportunity to show the similarities between the artworks and cultures of Armenia and South Italy.

“I’ve realized since I came here that we have many things in common with Armenian people,” she said. “There is especially a strong relationship with religion, which is kind of different with the rest of Italy. … Napoli is very attached, very linked to Armenia because in our cathedral, San Gregorio Armeno, we save the skull of Saint Gregory the Illuminator, who is the one that brought Christianity to Armenia.

“(It’s) also the temperament of people because we both have volcanic areas. … Underneath the ground, there is fire. There is always a passion and strong feelings, and it’s different from the rest of the places.”

For the artists, the event is an opportunity to share their work with people across Los Angeles from a variety of backgrounds. Mastian described it as an unprecedented way to connect with others.

“If a collector buys my art, I am extending my wall and my studio to the home or wall of the buyer,” he said. “When a buyer is buying my art, I feel we are sharing feelings; we are sharing our emotions. And the more you share, the more connectedness you create.”

Martikyan added that the exhibit offers an opportunity to inspire people to pursue their passions and express themselves freely.

“(Art) makes me happy; it’s very spiritual, and very fulfilling,” he said. “The most important message that I want to pass on is the love of art and to inspire people so that if they have a passion to do something creative, … use that creativity to make some art.”

New Age Visionary

Pianist Wayne Bethanis listened to his heart, found success

New age pianist Wayne Bethanis has hosted successful TV and radio shows in LA and abroad. His chart-topping album, “Measures of Light,” was the most awarded piano album in the world last year.

But the DTLA resident is always looking for that next challenge.

“When I released ‘Measures of Light,’ I thought to myself, ‘That’s my Fleetwood Mac ‘Rumors’ album. What am I supposed to do now?’”

Maine by his grandmother, Bethanis began formal classical training age at 5. By 8, he was recognized as a piano prodigy. His passion has come from his awareness about himself. He had the skills from a very young age to be a strong musician, but the passion came from discovering his strength along the way, just by living life, he said.

Bethanis’ grandmother supported his efforts throughout his life. She allowed him to feel like every note he played “was the most important note in the universe.”

The result is 2022’s “Listen,” which he said is “all about listening to yourself.”

“It’s a concept album,” he said. “It starts with a meditation, from a grand dream to a big climactic song in the end. Then there’s ‘The Bexley Bop.’ I didn’t want to wallow in self-pity, so I wrote an upbeat, delightful song, which is new for me. I always sought refuge in jazz when I have the blues. This album is groundbreaking for me.”

Like his other collections, he recorded in South Pasadena at Bird of Paradigm Studios with Julian Shah-Tayler, a musician in his own right. Shah-Tayler — who records as The Singularity and serves as a keyboardist in the Depeche Mode tribute act Strangelove — engineers and produces all the piano tracks.

“Pasadena is just magical,” Bethanis said. “There’s something mystical and metaphysical about it. It’s like a vortex of creativity for me. My last two albums have been so successful, and every single note has been composed, recorded and released in Pasadena.

“I would never work anywhere else. I don’t think I would be as successful if it weren’t for the vibe of Pasadena.”

Child prodigy

Born in Philadelphia and raised in

“I was allowed to believe, from a young age, that I could really make a go of becoming an artist,” said Bethanis, who won the prestigious Bartók Competition at age 19.

“That was critically important. I want everyone to know that they can do it. That has made the difference for me. It allowed me to always keep an open door in the framework of my artistic psyche. I felt free to express myself in any way. I do feel that freedom and there’s something joyous about it. Joy is very closely related to passion.”

Thanks to that passion, he earned several advanced degrees in music, including Bachelor of Music in piano performance from Chapman Conservatory and a Master of Music and Ph.D. in music from Claremont Graduate University.

“When I was 17, I received a piano scholarship to Chapman Conservatory in Southern California,” he said.

“I was just literally airlifted out of New England as a teenager and dropped into the urban hub of LA. It was fascinating. The wheels of fate started turning really quickly for me. I studied with a famous teacher and earned a Ph.D. in music by the time I was 30 from Claremont Graduate University, for which I received a

lowship.”

While earning his Ph.D., at age 24, he

taught at several junior colleges and turned those classes into a “big party,” he said.

“I taught a lot of English as a second-language students. I had so many students from Vietnamese and Latino backgrounds, and it was one of the best chapters of my life because many of these cultures treat teachers with the highest respect,” he said.

“You’re teaching a form of notation that goes past linguistics. The bonding is very deep, and it transcends culture. It was a very rich experience. I was just a kid having fun.”

He imparted an important piece of advice to his students.

“I believe that music is an expression of love,” Bethanis said. “I celebrate human expression. One of my goals in life is to let everyone know they have a creative spark in them and it’s one of the best parts of life.”

He wasn’t sure where to go from there, so he headed to New York and started modeling and acting. While some work as servers to pay their bills, Bethanis modeled to support his musical aspirations. He was successful, but when he returned to LA, he wasn’t ready for the pool of talent.

“I had no idea how competitive the modeling and acting world was,” he said. “I was in such a bubble in the East Coast. I thought if I couldn’t get a bunch of piano students or kick-start my recording career, I could go into TV commercials.”

A visionary

After just four albums released, Bethanis is considered a luminary in the contemporary instrumental new age music scene. When he’s not recording, he’s hosting the One World Music Radio show “Piano Garden,” which is produced in DTLA.

“We just hit No. 1,” he said. “It stayed No. 1 for the full seven days of charting. I always had a show going in addition to my recording career. That’s an exciting thing for me.”

In addition, his resume lists “The Wayne Zone,” an internationally broadcast radio show on Europe’s No. 1 new age radio station, and the LA TV show “The Wayne Bethanis Show,” featuring guests, musical numbers and interviews.

Bethanis also jokingly said he has a piano instruction empire, teaching students from 5-year-old child prodigies to A-list celebrities.

“The Bexley Bop,” Bethanis’ first jazz crossover hit, has only cemented his own celebrity.

“Everyone knows me now as the guy who jumps up and down on the piano,”

Bethanis said about his accompanying video. “A whole new audience broke for me. I’m this really fun guy dancing on the piano. It makes me feel really connected to a more fun-loving kind of audience.”

That audience led to a dance challenge on TikTok — a platform that isn’t generally associated with new age music.

“That album is breaking new ground,” he said. “I was just so scared. I had this big album last year. All I did was write the music that inspired me.”

His latest single is “Tender Years,” from “Listen.”

“‘Measures of Light’ had some very big songs that did really well, but my new album, ‘Listen,’ has big radio hits, like ‘Tender Years,’ which makes it surpass ‘Measures of Light.’”

Currently, Bethanis is working on a new album with Shah-Tayler. He called it his most intimate album yet.

“I’m exploring different aspects of the world we live in presently,” he said. “We’ve all had to start observing our world more carefully in the last couple of years.

“This album is about how we should love each other and how we should explore the divine in all of us. This divinity rises to the surface when life becomes intense. That big, grand idea translates into really beautiful piano songs that are very melodic and engaging.”

The world is headed into the spiritual realm, he said; into a higher dimension of communication. It’s important to expression love for one another while not getting distracted by technology.

“When I was a kid, the thought of having a phone, this little TV where I could see my grandmother and she could see me, was something we would see in a sci-fi cartoon or something,” he added.

“Technology is reaching such a high point. Our spirituality is going to become more apparent because it will stop us from getting lost in technology.”

Bethanis’ career hasn’t always been easy, but he’s proud to have found success in his craft.

“I’ve run into monsters along the way,” he said. “There have been some monsters at the gate. If you’re cut out for this business, then you discover a muscle in yourself that mitigates the whole experience — the high highs and the low lows. That’s what I’ve learned about myself. I hope I’m on the threshold of something even greater.”

Bethanis’ “Measures of Light” was the most awarded piano album in the world last year.

scene from one of Shakespeare’s works.

Various missions

Yeany said not all members are interested in Shakespeare. Some join for other reasons, such the club’s history or philanthropic efforts.

Personally, Yeany has always been passionate about Shakespeare.

“I fell in love with Shakespeare in high school. I had a wonderful teacher who brought it to life and took us down to The Old Globe in San Diego,” she said.

“Since then, I’ve been in love with it.”

The club formerly staged performances of works by Shakespeare and other writers. These plays featured only members of the club.

During a time when the club was doing full-scale, Broadway-style plays, they would give out free tickets to students and invite them to come to dress rehearsals.

It is no longer economically feasible to put on plays, but the group has showcased its members’ talents with in-house events.

They place in the ballroom, which was previously the music room.

In the past, they hosted the fundraiser “Pasadena Follies,” which featured a comedic variety show with performances by

members and residents.

The group holds an annual fashion show, silent auction and boutique, which helps to raise funds for its scholarship program.

On Veterans Day of this year, they plan to put on a play with an all-female cast. The club regularly offers social activities for its members.

They hold a bridge fundraiser every fifth Tuesday, with proceeds benefitting the lunch program.

They also have a beginners bridge and a walking group on Mondays.

They club will soon be starting up a mahjongg group.

Yeany said club activities are based on members’ interests.

The group hosts regularly evening and luncheon meetings, where they will sometimes bring in speakers and entertainment.

A group of tap dancers from within the club, known as the Shakespeare Tappers, performed during its general business meeting in March.

The organization serves the community through different types of philanthropic efforts.

Since 1954, have offered scholarships for students at Pasadena’s high public schools. They can be used at two- and four-

year colleges, as well as trade schools.

The organization gives out five scholarships of $3,000 each year.

“We go to the guidance counselors, and we ask them to select the student. Guidelines that we give them is we want a student that needs a little extra push, some type of recognition to continue their education,” Yeany said. “We want a student that has the potential but hasn’t blossomed yet.”

The club has recently been working with Friends in Deed, an organization serving homeless and at-risk individuals, to provide lunch once a week and collect toiletries and personal women’s products.

They also work with Villa Esperanza Services, a group serving children and adults with autism and special needs, offering birthday cakes each month as part of the Adult Day Program.

The Shakespeare Club of Pasadena has helped Ronald McDonald House with endeavors focused on women and children.

Throughout its history, the club has involved in different facets of the Pasadena community. They are one of the founding organizations of the Pasadena Humane Society. Around the turn of the century, the group sponsored women’s restrooms.

“These were really lounges that were in various buildings. You can imagine with all of that boning that women wore in their clothing, they would get very winded and need to sit down and rest, especially during the summer months in Pasadena,” Yeany said.

They also helped to establish kindergartens in Pasadena and were involved in women’s suffrage efforts.

The club has been part of the Tournament of Roses since its inception. Each year, they host an annual luncheon for the court, which started around the 1950s.

“In the early days, we provided sandwiches for all of the events, and we had floats in the Rose Parade,” Yeany said.

Yeany said the club tries to help women of different backgrounds and generations with its efforts.

“We are able to fulfill the needs of various different women, in different stages of life. We believe that women can learn from other women. We believe in the multigenerational wisdom of women,” Yeany said.

In Good Company

David Lee channels talk with Sondheim into ‘A Little Night Music’

David Lee sent a letter to Stephen Sondheim just about 50 years ago exactly.

“I had directed a production of ‘Company’ for my master’s thesis,” Lee recalled.

“Out of nowhere, I wrote a letter to him to see if he might have anything to add to my thesis. He wrote back and offered to meet me when I came to New York. After the ‘A Little Night Music’ matinee ended at 4:45 p.m. he invited me over. He was very gracious. He spent four to five hours with me answering questions. It altered my outlook on what was then my budding artistic life.”

Now — 50 years old — he’s directing “A Little Night Music,” which stages through Sunday, May 28, at the Pasadena Playhouse as part of its six-month Sondheim Celebration.

“One of the reasons Danny Feldman (producing artistic director, Pasadena Playhouse) and I decided to do this — after everything we’ve been through — because I want to do something that is beautiful to listen to, look at and that has a satisfying positive ending. I think that’s a message that’s in short supply lately.”

“A Little Night Music” (1973) represents Sondheim’s longtime collaboration with producer-director Harold Prince, who worked with Sondheim from his Broadway debut with “West Side Story” in 1957 to “Merrily We Roll Along” in 1981.

At the time of its opening on Broadway, Time Magazine called “A Little Night Music” “Sondheim’s most brilliant ac-

complishment to date.” Based on Ingmar Bergman’s “Smiles of a Summer Night” and featuring a score primarily in waltz time, the production was one of the composer’s greatest commercial successes and the recipient of three Tony Awards, including best musical, best book of a musical and best original score.

“It’s based on a Bergman film, ‘Smiles of a Summer Night,’” he recalled. “I think it was 1955. It’s a Swedish film in Swedish with subtitles. It is about a group of people in Sweden around 1900 who have all made terrible mistakes in their relationship choices. During the course of the evening, through a variety of farcical events, they are able to correct all of those.”

The cast of “A Little Night Music” is

led by Merle Dandridge (ABC’s “Station 19,” HBO’s “The Last of Us,” Broadway’s “Once on this Island”) as Desiree Armfeldt, Michael Hayden (ABC’s “Murder One,” Broadway’s “Carousel” and “Judgment at Nuremberg”) as Fredrik Egerman, and Jodi Long (Netflix’s “Dash & Lily,” Broadway’s “Flower Drum Song”) as Madame Armfeldt.

“We have Merle Dandridge playing Desiree,” she said. “She’s a brilliant actress and beautiful to boot with a stunning sing-

ing voice. I first saw her in Pasadena Playhouse’s ‘Kiss Me Kate’ and was bowled over. When her name came up, I grabbed the chance to use her.”

Lee is established himself. A TV producer, director and writer, he’s best known for “Cheers” and “Frasier.” He co-wrote and co-produced “The Jeffersons” and “Cheers” with Peter Casey for, respectively, six and four years.

He and Casey co-created “Wings” and “Frasier” alongside the late David Angell under the Grub Street Productions.

He produced revival productions of Broadway musicals, including “South Pacific” starring Brian Stokes Mitchell and Reba McEntire, “Can-Can” and “Camelot.” He co-wrote a newly revised script of “Can-Can” alongside Joel Fields when he was reviving the old musical.

Lee has been nominated 18 times for Primetime Emmy Awards; he won nine out of those nominations. He also won the Directors Guild Award, the Golden Globe Award, Producers Guild Award, GLAAD Media Award, British Comedy Award, three Television Critics Association Awards, two Humanitas Prizes and the Peabody Award.

“It was incredibly fun,” Lee said. “It was peppered with very late nights and a lot of stress. I tell people I’m so lucky for the 23 years I was in TV writing and producing. There wasn’t a day I went to work that I didn’t laugh a lot.”

Letting Her Voice Fly

Sophomore Tiffany Hsu sings her way to the Spotlight Program

After a lifelong fascination with singing and opera, Tiffany Hsu began singing classically under a teacher when she was 11. Now, just four years later, the sophomore at Mayfield Senior School in Pasadena is a grand prize finalist in The Music Center’s 35th annual Spotlight program. At just 15, Hsu is one of the youngest awardees.

“From a very young age, I always had an interest in the different types of voice, especially classical voice and opera. I just felt like it was such an elegant way of singing,” Hsu noted.

Hsu’s vocal teacher, Mariné Ter-Kazaryan at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music,

encouraged her to apply to the program, recognizing Hsu’s precocious talent. “I was just really shocked. I didn’t expect it as a sophomore,” Hsu said. “I was proud of myself and thankful for all the people who helped me in my life, like my family, friends and especially my teacher.”

The nationally acclaimed performing arts competition, scholarship and artistic development program for teens garnered over 1,300 applications this year, representing more than 245 schools, 170 cities and eight counties. Hsu was one of 14 selected to join the program, which offers Southern California teens coaching, audition experience, expert advice and mastery classes taught by well-regarded professional artists and arts administrators.

The program covers a variety of artistic disciplines, including acting, ballet, classical voice, dance, nonclassical voice, jazz instrumental and classical instrumental. Each finalist receives performance opportunities, individual feedback from industry professionals, and a $5,000 scholarship. Since the program began, The Music Center has given over $2.7 million in scholarships, changing the lives of 54,000 high school students. Spotlight has no application fees or financial barriers, providing equal access to all who might apply.

This year’s Spotlight Grand Finale performance will be held at The Music Center’s Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 8. The finale will showcase the talents of the 14 grand-prize finalists and a peek into each of their lives with behind-thescenes footage documenting their artistic journey and experience in the program.

Many Spotlight alumni have gone on to have successful careers. Nearly two dozen finalists are Presidential Scholars. Many have performed with professional companies like the LA Opera, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the American Ballet Theater and the Metropolitan Opera. Notable alumni include singer Adam Lambert and balleri-

na Misty Copeland.

When asked about the future, Hsu is uncertain, as any 15-year-old should be. “I have some pretty bizarre dreams,” Hsu said with a laugh. One hope is to attend the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia or possibly a local school like the University of Southern California or the University of California, Los Angeles. The 15-year-old may study music but has a wide range of interests, including science, business and accounting. “I’m a geek about quantum physics,” Hsu said excitedly.

To all heirs, beneficiar ies, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of MICHAEL JOHN HOFFMAN aka MICHAEL J. HOFFMAN aka MICHAEL HOFFMAN

AN AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Susan Chandler in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.

THE AMENDED PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Susan Chandler be appointed as personal representa tive to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE AMENDED PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be

required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the amended petition will be held on May 30, 2023 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 29 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
