Music Fun Week of April 3, 2012


JOYFUL ABANDON!  That what happens when I’m lucky, when I’m dancing.  Hope it’s good for you too!
Yesterday I saw a brilliant blue-tailed skink slithering under the riser of my front step.  Good omen, for sure … haven’t seen one in years. Signs of nature’s beauty all around us. 

Last weekend in recap: The 7th SonsRevolver, and Cathey Cotten & Elliott’s Evil Plan helped me get my groove on.  This weekend a couple of parties, and looking forward to Zydeco Flames, or Johnny Z & TRENZ, or Scott & Elliott & Pocket Change, or Blues Burners, or Revolver … you see my dilemma!!
