Yesterday (Tuesday) was an emotionally-draining one for me, and I was in no state of mind to dispense any uplifting message--so I missed my self-imposed deadline to release my 8-day calendar.
However, today was
beautiful. I look at the verdant hills outside my home, and wonder how many
shades of green there are! Friends are of human form, but also the flora
and fauna with which we share our space.
Here's an easy one:
Worth repeating: "I get by with a
little Help from my Friends" ♪♫
Thanks for The Music
this past week: Pro Jam with The Blues
Defenders & Leah Thysse; Linda Imperial & David Freiberg—all
at Hopmonk Novato! The
Tickets Band at PYC; Big River at COM.
We missed way too
much—dang!-- The Marin Symphony, Wild
Child at George’s, Eldon Brown, Revolver, The Mighty Groove, Frank Bohan, Zydeco Flames--but
a body can only be in so many places at one time (!) … or one place so many
times …
Big River
continues through Sunday March 17 at the College
of Marin—an imaginative musical re-telling of Mark Twain’s classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Friend Phillip
Percy Williams (who sings regularly in Marin with his Trio) delivered an
outstanding performance, and Musical Director Paul Smith brought the music to life with his small orchestra. Performances on Fri., Sat. & Sunday. Here’s
the info: http://www.marin.edu/News/press_release/01242013.htm 415-485-9385 for ticket info.
What’s on my plate
this week? Perhaps Corte Madera Big Band Dance, the Frank & Ted Show at Deer
Park Steakhouse, TREK Winery for some great wine & rock
& roll, George’s for the Prairie Prince Show + Moonalice, as
well as Evolution; Record Plant for some Jamie Clark
& Cole Tate; The Tickets Band
again at PYC; the Frank & Ted Show, and Alex & James at Deer Park; Revolver; Key Lime Pie, The 7th
Sons, James Moseley Band at SCC—and
one of these days I’ve got to make it back to Fenix! See what I mean? Difficult choices … Who knows what pleasures
await us in our lovely little county ♫♪
Listen to the Music,
and Dance (like nobody's watching)!! ♫
And remember to TIP
our wonderful and talented MUSICIANS!
