Moon Town Schmatts




Half Moon Bay is home of the Moon Town Schmatts, a bassoon trio, and not your ordinary bassoon trio: favorite hits of the the 40s, 50s and 60s, rendered for bassoon. Contra-bassoonist Mia Gates and I were featured on an HGTV segment Crayons and Cats, which showed her colorful home packed with design ideas in, yes, crayon colors and cat paw motif. This prompted the red bassoon to serve as rod for her wall hanging. Each of the nine cats has its special personality and name, surrounded by the text "Every life should have nine cats." Shown here at Bamboo Hair Salon and later to be displayed in Mia's home against some crayon wall color, yet to be determined. Electric blue?? Cheddar cheese yellow?
