Music Fun Week of July 3

UPDATES in RED
“Sometimes a great notion” takes hold and branches out, allowing us to share our highest good. We all have our dreams, we are all connected, and the greatest gift is LOVE … Be kind, share it …

There is such an abundance of fabulous music this week that I still have not decided just exactly where I’ll be and who I’ll see/hear/enjoy!  Well, 4th of July we do have plans to be at Rancho Nicasio for ZYDECO FLAMES (with guest Lynn Asher!)—just can’t get enough of their fun fun stuff.

For this past week/weekend, Treats abounded … the DeYoung with Laura for the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit (thru Aug. 17); Zydeco Flames at Eagles; Rudy Colombini and the Unauthorized Rolling Stones at GEORGE’S; The Marin County Fair with Starship and Mickey Thomas, and Los Lobos, and the Flash Mob, and the Dance performances, and Lydia’s Fine Foods, and the Ferris Wheel, and the Fireworks, and Carlos!  Big YAY--THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Please bookmark my website, and check back regularly for UPDATES as the week progresses:  www.ellenjanesmusic.com

And remember to TIP our wonderful and talented MUSICIANS!  Also please support all the gracious venues that support MUSIC.
Listen to the Music, and Dance (like nobody's watching)!!
