COMPLETED thru Wednesday April 2!
Wednesday, Mar. 26
Practice Kindness. And Music
Appreciation.
What’s
that and why?
Not
feeling quite full-steam, nor very creative myself, so pulled in something that daughter Laura is
working on. The hand-stitching queen. See more of her phenomenal fabric fun
here:
The weekend almost got away from me … I do NOT like
taking medication, and am empathizing with those whose lives are dependent on
it.
After the tunnel, there is LIGHT …
Isn’t it wonderful when there is someone who is true
and supportive when you’re not at your best?!
Carlos is such a friend. Lucky
me! I wasn’t feelin’ much fun Friday
night, but suggested we go to a movie (perhaps our 3rd in a year’s
time—too busy dancing!). We saw The
Grand Budapest Hotel, and enjoyed every minute of this witty and
intelligent, wacky, quirky, charming and engaging film. Fantastical.
Brilliant. Just what I needed.
On Saturday night we made it as far as Trek
Winery for The Chime Travelers.—who sound better and better each time I hear them. Carroll
& Howie, Sherry & Mike joined us for some dancing. Then on Sunday, after a Dance theme at
Unity in Marin, the day got even better … We decided to head to Hopmonk
that evening to check out a couple of new bands: Apache Relay from Nashville, and The
Lonely Wild from L.A. – touring together.
Twenty-somethings on the road – expressive, talented, original material,
lots of love. I’m ruminating on their
journey—6 weeks on the road, from Chicago to Kansas City, Oklahoma, Texas,
Colorado, Washington, Oregon, California.
One-night stands. Paying their dues … Living their lives …
As usual, so many choices this weekend for Marin
music … For Carlos & me, Friday night perhaps: Revolver at PYC, or Foreverland
at Sweetwater, or Volker Strifler at Hopmonk, or Cynthia
Glinka leading a Swing Dance Class before the Silver Moon Big Band at
the deYoung (but not likely we’ll get over the bridge :( ) And about 10 other choices on the calendar below.
Saturday likely to be at Seahorse
for Carlos Reyes, or Hopmonk for Lovefool. And Key Lime Pie is at Nourish. Another 15 or more choices for you for Saturday
listed below.
Sunday I’d like to hear Foxes
in the Henhouse at Hopmonk (after my afternoon rehearsal with Marin
Symphony Chorus – see Mark Your Calendars!).
NEXT Wednesday, would like to be there for Gary
Vogensen & his Ramblers at Hopmonk Open Mic.
And one of these days I hope to catch Fenton
Coolfoot!
