PROCRASTINATION!
That's something I've
always had a knack for ... and this week, especially true.
That stupid
cough that's been following me around for 3 weeks, me thinking each
day is the day it'll go away ... Monday I finally went and got an x-ray.
Tuesday (my Birthday), doctor called and said I need a CT scan because
x-ray shows a small mass as well as infection. So I got my 2 antibiotics,
and get the scan next Tuesday. All-in-all the worst birthday ever, as
many of you on facebook already know. There's been quite an outpouring of
love and caring from so many, and I am GRATEFUL. I'm not a daily facebook
user, but from the responses I received -- I see the benefits! Thank
you ALL!
Meanwhile, some shoutouts ... heard more
music than I anticipated last week! The always-wonderful and
inspiring Greg Johnson & Glass Brick Boulevard at the elegant Fenix on Saturday; the San
Francisco Music Club with Lorin Rowan & Jimmy Dillon at Northgate on Friday; Amy
Wigton at Trek Winery also on Friday; The
Grain (from Petaluma) at Hopmonk on Thursday; and on Sunday I crashed.
Highlights to come, I hope, to make up for a
less-than-stellar birth-day:
Thursday the amazing ILLUMINATION free show at 19 Broadway. Just putting that out there, because I don’t
believe I have the energy, better stay home another day. There’s also Rowan Brothers at Marin Art
& Garden Center, and Donna D
+3+1 at Seahorse.
Friday I HAVE to be
at Pacheco Plaza for some ZYDECO FLAMES! If I have any strength, might mosey over to Trek Winery after that to have a listen
to Factor 11.
Saturday The 7th Sons with Debra Clawson and fellas are at Presidio Yacht Club. Another great show is Wall Street at Fenix.
Lots more shows, take a look at calendar.
Sunday JAMES MOSELEY DANCE BAND at Corte Madera Town Center, 2-4pm. Be there!
