May you be HAPPY inside and out. I’m happy to be walking the planet with you.
Very much
looking forward to singing this weekend with the Marin Symphony Chamber
Chorus, Dec. 7 & 8. Hope to
see some of you there ... I can still get advanced tickets ($25) for you if you let me
know by Friday afternoon.
What a GREAT PARTY Wednesday night at Peri's, ushering in
Thanksgiving!! Thanks, Soul Satellites—Frank Bohan, Ted O’Connell, Lloyd Meadows,
Timm Walker, Dave Burns—and Bonnie
Hayes! Wow, great to have you back, if just for a short stay; and Danny Click, Don Bassey, Eric Schramm,
and all the other great musicians who jumped up onstage and added a
little somethin’ else!! ♫♪♪♫♪
Thanksgiving Day I fit in a visit and long walk
with Laura and Tino, then thanked Carlos for his home-cooked prime rib dinner!
Last week’s rainfall presented me with a small
leak in my sunroom, so on Friday after our Community Pub night, Carlos & I headed to Home Depot for supplies. After that a little de-compression, and by
the time we headed out it was past 10:30 ... so we moseyed up to Hopmonk for Yeah Sure Whatever – and they were finished when we arrived before
11pm! Guess I was supposed to rest up
for our roof work on Saturday!
But Saturday night was a different story. The benefit for Hummingbird Café in Fairfax was over-the-top! 19
Broadway presented us with act after amazing act of local live music. We got there in time for a bit of Lumanation with Bobby G, then Tommy Odetto (who must be destined for some
big things), then Cathleen “Sweetie Pie”
Riddley and Burnsy’s Sugar Shack,
then Sol Doc and The Optimystics! Talk about magical energy! Treat after musical treat – and I got my 3
hours of dancing in for the night! Sleeping
Lady was also in on the Benefit, but was packed to capacity for the night’s
festivities. Thanks to the venues and
all the amazing musicians, and the good vibe-crowd--and best of luck to Michelle and Jose and the Hummingbird Cafe! :-)
Back at Sweetwater
on Sunday (again) for another free Moonalice
show. Thanks for the love, Roger, John, Pete and Barry!

stranger ♫♪
The week to come:
Friday evening I’ll be rehearsing for my Sat. & Sun Marin Symphony Chamber Chorus Candlelight
Concerts, and from there will possibly stop at Sunnbolt, and/or Shed
Sessions at the Hopmonk. Would love to be there for your party, Danny Click—but the space/time
continuum is a challenge!
Saturday evening is my concert, and after that will most likely head to Hopmonk for Johnny Vegas and the High Rollers.
James Moseley Band is at
Seahorse, but again--the time travel thing is a factor … There’s Danny
Click again at Sleeping Lady,
and Go! Kat! Go! (a group I'd like to check out) in the Event Room “The Other Side” at Ghiringhelli’s as well.
Sunday is our 2nd performance of the Holiday Candlelight Concert at St. Rafael’s, and after that a party
to finish up the weekend. Yay!
Peace, Love -- and hope you get to check out some of the musical offerings for the week! ♫♪
