For a little humor, If you haven't yet seen Dancing Nana on YouTube, here's your chance. 2 min., 38 sec., and you have to watch until the last second! http://www.youtube.com/watch?
I have to give my props
to last week’s musicians: Both Dumpstaphunk & Zydeco Flames at Hopmonk
(on different nights!); The Tickets Band
at Seahorse on Saturday night, then over for a dose of The Treble Makers at Vasco’s—they all kept me dancing a-plenty!; and
a very wonderful house party on Sunday.
Thank you for making my feet sing!
This week I’m counting
on my health to zoom back, and will perform with The Marin Symphony on both Sunday afternoon and Tuesday
evening. I’ll be taking it easy, but
perhaps make an appearance with Carlos on Friday at George’s for Pop Fiction,
or a little Hot Buttered Rum at Hopmonk. Not sure if I’ll even get out,
let alone make it to PYC for my pals
The Tickets Band. Two rehearsals for me on Saturday, then
hopefully still get out and stay local: TREK Winery for Captain Paisley is an early, easy show; if there’s any steam we may
stop by Hopmonk for a little Hot Buttered Rum if we don’t get there
on Friday.
**Friend Sabina is having a major Furniture & Garden sale at her home, 12 Mariners Circle, San
Rafael, this Saturday from 10am-3pm. Gorgeous merchandise!**
Last call: I’m
performing with the Marin Symphony
Chorus in the Brahms’ German Requiem
on April 14 (Sun. 3pm) and April 16 (Tues. 7:30pm). This is one of the things I do in my other
life—off the dance floor--and I’d love to have you there to experience this
breathtaking piece. Please contact me (before Friday 2pm) if you’re interested
in discounted tickets. Full prices $29-70:
