Did you
see the FULL COLD MOON in all it’s glory? Rings around the moon, small and
large; Moonbeams galore. And the Winter Solstice on Saturday morning brings
longer days and shorter nights … Spring will be coming! One-day-at-a-time …
We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ♫♪♪
The week
past: Eddie Neon Blues at 19 Broadway;
Lynn Asher and Danny Click at Bill Hansell’s Guitar Pull at Sleeping Lady; Cathey
Cotton and the Atomic Beat Society at George’s; but I haven’t danced since then—a
whole week!! Rehearsals have taken up some time, as well as parties, and singing another
wonderful concert with the Marin Symphony—full of the spirit of the
season, and well-attended.
Coming up
this week: tonight some Lauren Murphy, along with 2 other bands, at Hopmonk; sorry to miss the NEW 19
Broadway’s offerings--on Thursday Con Brio, and next door at
Peri’s was Burnsy’s Sugar Shack—have to get to one of their gigs
soon!
Friday there’s also Chrome Johnson at 19 Broadway; or The 7th Sons
at Presidio Yacht Club.
Saturday there’s Sister Carol for some reggae/ roots at Hopmonk; and
at 19 Broadway Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic.
Hope you get out and move it … I’m
overdue! And if you can’t, have fun
inside your head! ♫♪♫♪
