Music Fun Week of June 19

UPDATES in RED – Fri. CARLOS SANTANA joins Narada Michael Walden at George’s; scroll down for more Updates on Fri., Sat., Tues. and Mark Your Calendars!

WelcomeSummer Solstice!

This will be my BIRTHDAY WEEKEND.  Yes, it’s a big deal, because I went for many, many years without celebrating—so I’m making up for all that lost time!
And of course there are decisions to be made … I’m thinkin’ Fri. at Tennessee Valley Creekside for James Moseley Dance Band (8-pieces, with new singer Haley Mears adding some flavor with Carrie Murphy on vocals; then what?; Saturday again with James Moseley Dance Band at the Seahorse; and several parties to divide my time … Said it before & I’ll say it again: Ah, what a life!!  BLESSED to be me!  ♫♪♪♫♪♫

“There are four questions of value in life… What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.” --Don Juan deMarco (via Johnny Depp)
Thanks to Elizabeth for sharing this on Facebook!

Gratitude to all of you who touch my life in such a positive way …
Special thanks to the music world for making this past one another awesome weekend:  Dan Brown and Cheap Therapy; Zydeco Flames; Erma and Daniel of Murphy Productions for their awesome work at the Marin Art Festival at Lagoon Park, with Rhythmtown Jive, Sycamore Slough String Band, Lavay Smith and her Red Hot Skillet Lickers, then on Sunday Maria Muldaur and Moonalice! And of course Carlos!
