UPDATES in RED—Please
scroll down for the
weekend …
Another fantastic week has passed here in Paradise. Blessed be
that we are free to partake of so much wonderful Music, with loving
friends. We all have our trials, and
sometimes it is difficult to see the way clearly—but for many of us the Music
and Dance are part of our Spirit Fulfillment.
This past week we were privileged to hear the Eldon Brown Band (Danny O’Grady & friends) at the Panama Hotel; Contino at
Northgate, and Doc Kraft Dance Band with Johnny
Z at Presidio Yacht Club. On Saturday the day culminated in a super bad
night of dance music—yes, it was Magic
being made—both by the James Moseley
Dance Band at Seahorse, and then
(lucky us!) the sold-out show at Sweetwater
for Rudy Colombini and the Unauthorized Rolling Stones! Phew!
Made it to Unity this Sunday,
and then stopped by Magnolia Terrace
for some FireWheel, and on to Sweetwater for Matt Lax and Nearly Beloved. Small crowd (nothing like the Moonalice love fest the week before)
and no dancers except for Carlos and me and Mei-Ling! What really made me giggle was the Sweetwater
outdoor café, which is VERY doggie-friendly—I only saw one table without a
pooch!
♫♪ This week … it’s
already Wednesday past 2am (I posted about 7:30 Tuesday for those who checked
my site before I sent my email—but have since added, deleted, and jumbled it
up). This evening we’ll make our way to Mill Valley for Tom Rigney, and then some James
Moseley at Bungalow 44. Look at the lineup for a Wednesday night! Thursday’s ABBA concert at George’s
will undoubtedly be a hoot! (Murial’s
Wedding—got to be on my top 20 all-time great films.) Oh, on Thursday Carlos & I will see the Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier at the deYoung. I was there with Laura about six weeks ago, and am heading back for more!
On Friday, it’s hard to resist Pacheco, kinda just around the corner—I heard SugarFoot at the Novato Art & Wine Festival and they’re definitely
worth another listen. After that we may head to George’s for their free Disco
DJ night! And there’s Doc Kraft,
Jamie Clark, Rumors, and way more.
Saturday? I haven’t locked it down … take a look, lots to choose
from. On Sunday methinks it’ll be The Tickets Band—but will you look at
the choices! Would be fun to sit in on Spark
and Whisper in the evening while they record their CD at Studio 55 … Who knows where the winds
will blow us! Check it all out …
Our friends at George’s
Nightclub are continuing their great promotion: Celebrate your birthday there with a
show! Buy 5 tickets for friends, and the
6th one (for you) is a Comp!
They’ll also treat you to a bottle of champagne. Call for details and to book 415-226-0262.

check back regularly for UPDATES as the
week progresses: www.ellenjanesmusic.com. And for fun, take a peek at my
Photos and Videos.
And remember to TIP
