The last full week of April! Will you find some time to

Every Day is EARTH DAY!
I try to be brief, but it’s not in my vocabulary, and I have to give my shout-outs for those who made my music last week!
On Friday, Z and the Benders (with Eric
Engstrom on drums, and a guy I used to work with—Athan Pasadis on
keys) at the Elks Club: great jazzy
dancey tunes. From there to Hopmonk for
Jay Buckaroo Bonet—and a surprise to find Horacio S adding a
groove on congas, along with Tony Saunders on bass, and lovely Hanne
Andersen on drums. A nice mix of fun,
blues, and rockabilly! They’re the house
band at George’s on Wednesday nights.
Saturday Carlos & I headed for the Presidio Y.C. and
Doc Kraft, where we knew there would be a party. We preceded that with a friend’s celebration
where I became food-intoxicated, and I knew I had to dance heartily to use up
some of those calories! So I did.
Sunday I was exhausted and we didn’t even get to
Unity, nor to an Easter Egg Hunt! But
sometimes nice to hang at home …
I don’t get out regularly on Wednesday and Thursday,
but for those of you who do—lots of fine choices.
Another crazy Friday coming up with too much
good stuff! … James Moseley Dance Band at Fenix; Frobeck at
Hopmonk; Danny Click at Sleeping Lady; Doc Kraft at Seahorse;
Cathey Cotton & Atomic Beat Society at Peri’s; 7th Sons at
PYC, and all that other great music I’ve listed below.
Saturday? A good excuse to get to Whole Foods Novato
for their Earth Day Birthday Party; then Marin Open Studios Preview Gala
at Bon Air Center; then Chime Travelers at Trek; Sorentinos &
Black Cat Bone at Hopmonk; and there’s Danny Click back at
the Lady; Olive & The Dirty Martinis at Seahorse; Lavay Smith at
Fenix; Mighty Groove up in Cotati, and on and on—see complete list
below!
Sunday? A George
Sumner Birthday art show at Trek; the Hopmonk Beer Garden; “The
Wrecking Crew” Film at the Rafael; and the rest of the calendar!
