Enjoy the last week
of Summer!
We may be welcoming Autumn, but there will yet be another Indian Summer in the Bay Area (how lucky
are we!), along with those cool, crisp days and evenings.
Hope the Season is good for you! ♫♪
How cool is that?!
Be at Trek on Saturday night to Groove! ♫♪♪
Ray Simpson
Big Band Dance in Corte Madera on Wednesday. Good music, fun times, more new people—come and
enjoy next month on October 9. And it’s
free!
Carlos & I met up with friends at the Presidio Yacht Club on Friday to enjoy Doc Kraft and his Band: Tucker, John
& Patrick—and thank them for helping out with the music at Johnnie Jean’s
celebration at Stafford Lake Park. We
left a wee bit early to get over to Hopmonk
to hear Kevin Russell Band—and happy
we got there in time to hear 2 last songs: a riff on Shaft, and Voodoo Child. Kevin is definitely worth hearing again, an
amazing performer!
On Saturday we were treated to the wonderful Greg Johnson & Glass Brick Boulevard
at the Fenix, with Greg on keys of course, “fun machine” Rob Fordyce on bass, Paul Hanson on electric bassoon (!),
and Celso Alberti on drums. Definitely world-class musicians. Managed to dance in the back of the room toward
the end of the evening, but it is inhibiting when there’s no dance floor, and
no one else up to shake their booty. But
there was definitely a lot of shoulder wagging and chair wiggling. More please!
The Marin
Symphony Waterfront Pops Concert at Lagoon Park on Sunday was a mighty
success! I’d guess about 2,000 people
enjoyed the perfect weather and the stirring music of John Williams, followed
by the fireworks! We need more support
for our very own Marin Symphony! I’m singing in 3 concerts with them this
year, so you will definitely hear more about that!
On the TO-DO list this week:
I had intended that Carlos & I check out
tonight’s debut of the Starduster
Orchestra monthly series at Marin
Community Center, but a troublesome shoulder precludes any dancing
tonight. Instead we will go to my
Toastmasters Contest at FICO.
I won’t make plans until Friday (well, maybe we
can sneak out to Hopmonk for the Wednesday Open Mic and catch Flanelhed), but
then intend to be at Pacheco Plaza
for Caribbean Spirit—the final
summer performance at this venue. From there
we will likely stop at Hopmonk for Pepperland—Lorin Rowan of the Edge and the S.F. Music Society and Rubber
Souldier joins them on vocals and guitar.
Saturday looks special with The MIGHTY GROOVE at TREK
Winery! Check
out this special night of fun!
We may get over for the last set of Linda Imperial & David Freiberg at Hopmonk. There’s also James Moseley Band at Seahorse. Dang! Can’t be everywhere …
Sunday afternoon we'll be checking out the Mill Valley Art Festival.
Hope to see you! ♫♪
