Dead honored on seasonal holidays
On Nov. 1, some 50 members of the Episcopal Diocese of El Camino Real, led by Bishop Mary Gray-Reeves, will make a pilgrimage through the Elkhorn Slough Reserve, a natural treasure on the Monterey coastline that preserves the habitat of hundreds of plants, animals and birds. This grouping of 51 congregations includes St. Stephen’s in Gilroy, St. John’s in Morgan Hill and St. Luke’s in Hollister.

His Duets II album coming out soon is on my iTunes "buy it" list.
