This morning I
dreamed I was in the mountains – thanks for the TRIP, JJ!
It’s been a difficult few days, with the disappearance and tragic death
of Johnnie Jean Daniel on a mountaintop in the Sequoia National Forest.
I do believe in the anima mundi (soul of the world), and the Jungian
collective unconscious—and that Johnnie’s spirit is out there circulating among
us, picking us up when we are down, reminding us to accept and be kind, and to
take any and every opportunity to laugh and celebrate!
Love and Blessings to husband Ed and her extended Family. We will celebrate her enchanted Life at a
later time; her beautiful Spirit always!

Touched by an Angel: A sweet
moment with Johnnie Jean Daniel, RIP
The past few days are blurring together, with
the unfathomable news. Thursday JJ’s best friend notified me she was missing,
Saturday they found a body but not positively identified, then Sunday came the
news that it was in fact our JJ. On
Saturday, knowing someone was found, but also aware that there were other
searches underway, I (and many of you) held on to the last desperate hope that the
body was NOT JJ, and she would be found alive.
Therefore I went out and danced as if my life—or hers--depended on it. On Sunday, with the finality of it, I crashed
and burned.
I must give tribute to the musicians who fed my
spirit this week past: Revolver at MAGC Thursday; Factor 11 at Trek Winery on Friday, then Sol
Horizon at Hopmonk; James Moseley Dance Band at a private
party on Saturday afternoon, then Andre
Theirry and Zydeco Magic at the JCC,
and on to Peri’s and Zydeco Flames for dessert! On Sunday, Greg Johnson’s sweet jazz piano soothed
my soul at Trek.
I don’t know what the week holds for me, but
want to point out that tonight (Tues.) at Fenix
the Femmes Fatales (Lauralee Brown, Debra Clawson, Joan Getz
& Connie Ducey) are opening the show at about 7pm. Also, James Moseley Quartet is at Panama Hotel, and Zydeco Flames at Ashkenaz.
Wednesdays it’s always fun to drop in at Dennis Haneda’s Open Mic at Hopmonk if we are able …
Thursday Miracle
Mule at the PYC for Maria’s
night would be cool – don’t know how much longer we’ll be able to enjoy that
venue …
Friday once again is OVERLOADED with musical
treats. Soul Satellites at Peri’s, Danny Click next door at Sleeping
Lady, Volker Strifler at Northgate, Herb Marshall at Trek, Rumors at McInnis, Miles Schon at Fenix, Retromaniax at Pacheco – and there’s more! scroll down
and take a look!
Saturday James
Moseley Band is back at Seahorse,
and Revolver at Presidio Y.C. Or will we try someone new at Hopmonk? Sunday another
array of talent, including The 7th
Sons a couple of places, Revolver at Creek Park, Freddy Clarke at Rancho, the Novato Theatre Benefit with WonderBread 5 and so much more.
Whew! I’d
better rest up.
Check out all the calendar listings below, find
yourself some good music and move your
body! It's good for you. ♫♪♫♪
