Music Fun Week of September 11

UPDATES in RED
WHEW! Another fantabulous week & end gone by.  We’re still enjoying Summertime, though that hint of Autumn is definitely in the air, with nippy nights nigh.

My praises: Thanks to EDDIE Neon Band at Maria’s event at PYC on Thursday; Juke Joint at Pacheco Plaza; Jamalicious at Broken Drum; THE TICKETS BAND at PYC—all on Friday.  Sorry to miss Sunnbolt’s 1st Friday Jam this month, but Carlos & I DID somehow manage to make it to 5 different events on Friday. Don’t know that I’ll be repeating that anytime soon!
Saturday saw us at the TREK WINERY Grand Opening for much of the afternoon and into the evening—great to see so many of you show up and enjoy the great wine and the ambiance at this fabulous venue!  You MUST give this place a try—open daily (except Mon.) between 11am & 7pm, 1026 Machin Ave. Novato.  [While at TREK you can also enjoy the magical paintings of George Sumner]. Then after TREK, we were on to PYC once again to rock out with the DOC KRAFT Band.
On Sunday, after Unity and a pleasant afternoon stop & sip at TREK, we took in the JAMES MOSELEY Band at the Cruising Club to help celebrate Jack Prendergast’s birthday!  Wowza!

This coming week, starting on Wed., it’s the Ray Simpson Big Band at Corte Madera Rec Center.
On Thursday Danny Click is getting’ bluesy at Sleeping Lady; on Friday the double-bill at Eagles in Alameda (Zydeco Flames + Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums) is calling—but so are Wonderbread 5 at George’s!!  On Saturday, I just dunno—probably do some DJ dancing at George’s, or if the zydeco bug is not sated, may get on up to Monroe Hall for more Flames; and on Sunday likely to be in Mill Valley …

I wish you all a very happy week of musical delights!
