Music Fun Week of March 26

Breathe … In and Out. Sometimes it’s about keeping it simple.

In the spirit of simplicity, here’s my tribute to this past week, with Carlos by my side.  Thursday another bluesy Pro Jam at Hopmonk with The Blues Defenders & Johnny Rawls; Friday amazing funky get-down music with Cathey Cotton & Elliott’s Evil Plan & Guests & Radical Ron’s Birthday at Peri’s; Saturday a beautiful memorial service for a community member, a bodacious Birthday party for Dave—then on to another fab party at George’s with Pretending & Fleetwood Mask; Sunday at Unity in Marin for inspiration, and Goodwill for some outrageous deals.  Whew.  Simple.

This week’s possibilities include a Toastmasters event on Wednesday; TREK Winery on Thursday for some jazz with Herb Marshall Group; Friday either Soul Satellites or Johnny Z & TRENZ; Saturday some Mystery Dance at PYC, or Rock Candy at Hopmonk; Sunday we’ll just have to see!  Have a delightful musical week!  ♫♪

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