Taking my time,
savoring the moments …
Therefore “this” is late.
There are so few degrees of separation between each of us. In the Spirit of Johnnie Jean Daniel, embrace
humanity, embrace Mother Earth. ♫ ♪
Thanks, Ed, for sharing
these photos.
The music continues. Carlos and I managed to get out a few
nights. On Friday we met with quite a
few others for a mini-tribute to our friend JJ.
Sweet! We then carried on to
Fairfax for one of my favorite group of guys (without Bonnie Hayes for now!) at
Peri’s: The
Soul Satellites—Frank Bohan, Ted
O’Connell, Lloyd Meadows, Dave Burns, and the bassist subbing for Timm Walker. We also checked on Danny Click and the Hell Yeahs making merry next door at Sleeping Lady.
On Saturday we got a heads-up that the power
was out in Sausalito, so the James
Moseley show was cancelled—and we had an unusual Saturday night at home!
Sunday we had to make an appearance at the Novato Theatre Benefit, and spirits
were high for WonderBread 5. Many many sought shelter from the heat at TREK Winery—and discovered this gem in
downtown Novato.
The week ahead?
I know not! On Friday we can find
Lumanation at Peri’s, James Henry at Fenix, Salvador Santana & Miles Schon at George’s, Buck Nickels and Loose Change with Third Rail at Hopmonk, Reckless in Vegas and Pretending at Sweetwater, Phil Berkowitz and the Dirty Cats at Rancho -- hmmmmm …
There’s good money betting Carlos & I will
be at The Tickets Band on Saturday
night. And there’s also Beso Negro
at Hopmonk, Mitch Woods at Fenix, Vinyl at 19 Broadway, Andoni at Rickey’s.
On Sunday there’s Danny Montana at Magnolia
Garden, Salsa at Fenix, The Sun Kings at Rancho –
and so much more! We’ll just have to see
…
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)!! ♫
And remember to TIP
our wonderful and talented MUSICIANS!
