Music Fun Week of April 23

UPDATES (since Tuesday) in RED
I'm not coming up with anything particularly witty to say at the moment, so best to get to the nitty-gritty ...

Still coughing – it’s been suggested that this is allergies?  I’m not one to run to the doctor, and I never cough while I’m dancing – so I guess the best remedy for me is to keep on DANCING!  LOL!
I did manage to sing beautifully for both my Marin Symphony concerts last week--for that I give THANKS!
PRIDE and JOY at George’s on Friday night knocked my socks off!  …or at least wore me out after 3 hours of attempting to copy-cat their choreography!  Back again to George’s on Saturday night for those loveable rascals Rudy Colombini and the Unauthorized Rolling Stones – who never disappoint! Very happy they will return to Marin for the Larkspur Food & Flower Fest, and for the series at Northgate!  I’ll be publishing my Summer Events calendar soon.
So sorry to have missed my friends James Moseley Band, Danny Click & the Hell Yeahs, Johnny Z & TRENZ, Jefferson Starship, et al. -- sometimes it's a toss of the dice!  ♫♪

I won a couple of tickets for the Saturday show of Hugh Masekela at Marin Center, so Carlos & I will start our evening there.  Hope to shake a leg after that, but not yet sure where … and don't have Friday night pinned down either.  HAVE TO GET ALL BETTER before my heavy-duty trip to Philadelphia to help brother Jay. J

Blessings as you begin your personal journey again each day.  ♪♫♪

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.
