A most fabulous
weekend again—lucky me! Began on Thursday with another visit to the Legion of Honor; then Fri. at Pacheco Plaza for their summer opener
with Uncle Buffett/Cole Tate, and a fabulous
crowd!! And on to Eagles for some awesome Zydeco
Flames. Saturday saw the Novato Art Wine & Music Fest with
another happy scene: Pocket Change with Scott Carter, Johnny B & the Speedshifters with Tom
Atkin, Danny Click with Don Bassey
& Tracy Blackman, Chuck Prophet,
and Gator Beat. The evening continued nostalgically with It’s A Beautiful Day at George’s. And more of the Novato
Festival on Sunday with Sugarfoot
and Mystery Dance with Bonnie Hayes—she’s
definitely “twang-a-licious”.
Thanks for stopping
by the TREK WINERY booth at the Novato Art Wine Festival this weekend;
looking forward to their grand opening in the near future … stay tuned for more info …
This “weekend” will kick off for me with the Wednesday Corte Madera Big Band Dance, then on
Fri. the Creekside series, with funky
soulful Cheap Therapy with Dan Brown! And another entrée at George’s for some ZYDECO FLAMES! Saturday—let’s
see, there’s the Marin Art Festival
for the ART, and for Rhythmtown Jive,
Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet
Lickers, and more. More of that on
Sunday too, with Maria Muldaur, and Moonalice! Sat. nite? Might have to check out Nourish for Mindy Canter. Ah, what a
life!! Like I said, BLESSED to be me! ♫♪♪♫♪♫
