Que sera, sera. What will be, will be.
Feeling dullish in the head right about now. I’m still healing, but I DO feel the mass
dissolving away. Still, not as energetic
as I’d like to be.
Meanwhile, last Wednesday was the final Swing
Dance (until September) from the Ray
Simpson Big Band in Corte Madera, and I was happy to be there. I won’t be around for the next one on Sept. 10—but you can Mark Your
Calendars right now!
Swung by Hopmonk
on Friday night for an hour or so of the VERY energetic Lovefool party band. Small
crowd, but many dancers. Got my workout.
Saturday spent with Friends in my Community at a Full Moon Rising Party.
Sunday: Magnolia Terrace (Elks Club) for FOREVERLAND!! And it was as SWELL as I had hoped! So many Friends showed up—happy you were
there too! ♫♪
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun ♫♪
Lori, Ellen, Patricia at Magnolia Terrace,
after Foreverland
Coming up:
Friday evening at Northgate for
Aja Vu (Steely Dan tribute) from 6
to 8pm. There’s also Pachamama at Pacheco from 6-9, and I’d show for the last half hour or so – but logistics
being what they are, probably won’t.
After that might stop by Hopmonk
to scope out Gravity A for some New
Orleans funk, soul, jam.
Saturday there’s a special birthday party, and
then Hopmonk for Danny Click & The Hell Yeahs!
Sunday I may need some Unity in Marin – and then there’s the Great American Blues & BBQ on 4th St. with Austin DeLone’s Little Big Band backing
up Tommy Castro, Nick Gravenites, and
Ron Thompson.
Of course, the calendar below is FULL of other
good music to enjoy. Do find yours! ♫♪♫
