Music Fun Week of April 24

Several UPDATES in RED for Fri., Sat., Sun. -- Please scroll down to find them! 
(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!)

The Tiburon Film Festival began on April 19 and continues through April 27. If you want to know more, click here:  Tiburon Film Festival.
