(I added more events yesterday, and even more today Friday.)
Coming
up: the
last day of April 2012! Here comes May, already ...
No Skink Report today
…
And my nightingale might have found his sweetie …
This past weekend, the
JAMES MOSELEY BAND at Seahorse once again blew it out of the
water and made Magic! Thank you James, Jack, Carrie, Steve, Marina,
Casey, John, and all my awesome Dancing Friends! What a gorgeous balmy night in Sausalito! And on Sunday, Taste & Twirl with Cynthia
Glinka and Andoni was a perfect wrap for the weekend. The dance floor at IDESST Hall is primo—hope to
dance it again!
Once again this week, there’s
a wealth of musical entertainment from which to choose … my best bet on Sat. is
the Doc at PYC (with Johnny Z on lead guitar for the evening!)…
