And away we go …!
To Hawaii, that is. Carlos and I leaving today for my first ever tropical
paradise vacation!
There’s
a lot going on in Marin that we will miss – see my calendar below – but we will
make the best of it on our holiday!
And we’ll look forward to much musical
merry-making upon our return on Thursday July 25. See Mark Your Calendars for a
splendid lineup to come! (starting with James Moseley Band debut at Fenix!)
This past Wednesday Carlos & I happily
attended another Big Band Dance at
the Corte Madera Community Center. This
is a real gem for the community, and no cover!
They skip August, and will resume the 2nd Wednesday of
September.
Friday we stopped by Hopmonk for some Roy Rogers and
the Delta Rhythm Kings, slinging and
slicing it up, and making it pretty hard not to dance.
Saturday evening, after a wonderful gathering
of friends, a difficult decision on where to go dancing, because
two of my top bands were at different venues. We finally made it down to the Seahorse for James Moseley Dance Band and rocked out. Thanks James, Carrie, Haley, Jack, Jean, Marina,
KC, Rob and the guest on congas! – wish we could have spent time with The Tickets Band as well.
On Sunday glad I made it to Magnolia Terrace for Linda Imperial Band with David Freiberg and other musical
luminaries. It was a real rock concert,
in a gorgeous setting, dancing on the lawn.
Nick Fitch puts together a great summer series – you should check it out if
you haven’t already. Next one July 28. ♫♪♫♪
Carrie, Ellen & Haley après
the Dance!
I will not be putting out a calendar while I’m
vacationing. If you want to know what’s
happening next week you can click on
any of the venues on my list to check out their websites.
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.
