It’s MAGIC—that’s what’s happening.
Do you feel it??
How magical to live in one of the most beautiful places on
earth, with so many enlightened and joyous people! It was a 4-day weekend for me, leading out
with a big THANKS to the James Moseley Band at Rancho; a fun champagne-tasting event; THE TICKETS BAND at PYC; the downtown Larkspur Food & Flower
Fest with Doc Kraft, and Lorin Rowan & Jimmy Dillon’s SF Music
Club; rushing off to the Presidio/Ft. Baker before they shut Alexander Ave.,
awestruck by the crowds of happy people, dancing to Elliott’s Evil Plan and Cathey
Cotton and Honeydust at PYC;
entranced by the FIREWORKS for the 75th Anniversary of the Golden
Gate; then Memorial Day on the
Green in Mill Valley with Tommy Castro
& Danny Click. Can it possibly get any better??? I’m an Optimist … ♫♪♪♫♪♫
Thanks to Paul for sending this link for the Golden Gate Bridge 75th
Anniversary Fireworks video from KFOG … http://goldengatebridge75.org/celebrate/golden-gate-festival.html

Soo much fun that I didn’t get a kick-start on my post, so
apologies for the Tuesday events I missed listing.
This coming weekend on my plate:
Sunnbolt Jam, possibly Northgate, the Four Teardrops, definitely
Johnny Z & TRENZ at Seahorse,
Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums at
the Marin Home & Garden Show …
what else??
