Music Fun Week of September 18

UPDATES in RED
Hello Fellow Travelers!  I’d like to thank all the friends and music-makers (especially Carlos) who enriched my week.  On Wednesday we had our once-a-month treat with the Ray Simpson Big Band in Corte Madera.  Friday night we set out for Alameda for an energetic double bill with Zydeco Flames, and Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums.  Rollin’ out the fun!  Sat. afternoon found us at the Marin Humane Society for Woofstock with Petty Theft—those boys sure do get the crowd (including lots of pups) going. I believe 55 cats & dogs found homes through this event!  Then on Saturday evening, on to Max’s, where Cathey Cotten, along with her Evil Plan, really knows how to make a party. She’ll be puttin’ Max’s on the map. Lots of you fun dancers showed up to party too!
Sunday we didn’t make it out of the house until almost 4—managed to miss the Mill Valley Art Festival L but caught a mind-bending show by Moonalice at Sweetwater!  Thank you ALL for making the music, feeling the music, making wonderful things happen …

Don’t forget to stop by TREK WINERY to enjoy the great wine and the ambiance at this fabulous venue!  Open Tuesday through Sunday between 11am & 7pm, 1026 Machin Ave. Novato.  While at TREK you can also enjoy the magical paintings of George Sumner.

This coming week remains a puzzle for me at this hour.  Really? Did I say that? Though I did post my list earlier this evening, it’s now past 2am.  I’ll have to look at ellenjanesmusic come daylight!

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

Please take a look at all the listings and details that follow♫♪♫♪
