UPDATES (since
Tuesday) in RED
Just put one foot in
front of the other … or to the side, or to the back … give a shake and a hop,
and the music is on, and you’re dancing!
Each day is a GIFT. Use it well and wisely. ♫♪
JOHNNIE JEAN DANIEL MEMORIAL CELEBRATION
As previously mentioned, Sunday, September 8, from noon
to 5pm. However, venue has changed
to accommodate more people: Stafford Lake Park, Group Area 1. http://www.co.marin.ca.us/depts/PK/ParkRes/Park.aspx?ParkId=11
* There is a $10 per car parking fee—so please carpool, as parking is not
unlimited and we expect many friends-- AND there is another event in the adjoining group area.
* This is a potluck, and alcohol is allowed.
* No dogs allowed at this park--sorry.
* No dogs allowed at this park--sorry.
* Seating is limited, so please bring lawn chairs.
* To save Ed from renting tables (there are a few provided), please let me know if you
can bring a table or two and I will relay info to him.
* Need large coolers for water, soft drinks, beer—and possible keg(s). Again, let me know if you can bring so
Ed doesn’t have to hustle.
There will be MUSIC, of course.
More details to come—and hope you can! With LOVE to JJ ♫♪♫♪
What were Carlos & I up to last week? Friday nite found us close-by at Hopmonk for a taste of country with Buck Nickels & Loose Change – out of
my normal comfort zone, but as I say: “My ears are open!” And great fun to
watch the country two-step – more to it than I thought! We arrived just in time for the last tune by Third Rail with friends Bob McBain
& Tucker McMullen—glad we did …
Sat. nite party at a friend’s, we stayed put (“don’t
leave a good time to have a good time”)—so we “missed out” on another party,
and on our pals The Tickets Band at
Seahorse—hope you were there! On Sunday,
after Unity in Marin, we boogied over to Magnolia
Terrace at the Elks Club and
heard some Danny Montana & the Bar
Association for good-time country rock & blues. Then on to the Mill Valley Plaza for Todd Morgan & the Emblems—an entertaining
group of young rockin’ musicians from Sac’to.
And what’s up for this week? Choices, choices! …
Wednesday would be sweet to get to Mill Valley
again for the last summer concert in the plaza:
The Hot Club of Marin. And then there’s Greg Johnson & Glass Brick Boulevard at Sweetwater. Or we could hang
at home at Hopmonk and check out Dennis Haneda’s Open Mic. Thursday ???
Friday looks good for Commander Cody at Hopmonk
– but James Moseley Dance Band is at
Seahorse, and Zydeco Flames are at Eagles,
and again, lots of local choices on a Friday night!
Not sure right now if we will brave the traffic
in Sausalito this weekend, but plenty happening there along with the Sausalito Arts Festival; Saturday also
looks good close to home, with Freestone
Peaches (Duane Allman Tribute) at Hopmonk
Novato, and Sugadady at Fenix.
Sunday we’d like to brave our way to the Sausalito Cruising Club in the evening
for Cole Tate Band and The 7th Sons—for a Virgo
birthday party for our friends Sabina
and Jake and others! The Cruising Club has an “open to the public”
permit for that day only, so you do not have to be on a guest list.
On Monday there’s the Doc Kraft Band at Seahorse
– again a Sausalito trip – so we’ll see where the fates lead us …
Check out all the calendar listings below, find
yourself some good music and move your
body! ♫♪♫♪
Listen to the Music,
and Dance (like nobody's watching)!! ♫
