May Day! May Day! And I
mean that in a good way.
First of all, HEALING
THOUGHTS to those who feel they must resort to violence.
May Day just plum got away from me. I had the pleasure of my grandpup Tino’s
company, and another great Symphony rehearsal for my upcoming Sunday &
Tuesday’s concerts – but I could not seem to finish my post! Not enough hours in the day—you know the
drill …
Again, this is a work in progress … Sigh, Stretch, Smile!
Kudos to last weekend’s
fabulous entertainment: Pop Fiction

all my awesome friends! Looking at 1st Friday Jam, and The Tickets Band at Rancho Nicasio for a special Cinco de
Mayo, and let’s see what else … ♫♪
