A BLESSING is a circle of light drawn
around a person to protect, heal, and strengthen. …John O’Donohue, Irish poet 1956-2008
Les’see … pretty good energy, lots of dancing,
yes--feeling better. Another x-ray today,
and I think it will show nothing!
Feeling optimistic. BLESSINGS to ALL!
Fabulous weekend for a Birthday, Sue!!
There was Friday evening at Northgate
for Aja Vu (Steely Dan tribute),
then an impromptu house party on Friday.
On Saturday afternoon, a beautiful Birthday
Party, then on to Hopmonk for Danny Click & The Hell Yeahs!
And on Sunday the Great American Blues
& BBQ on 4th St. with Austin
DeLone’s Little Big Band (Eric
McCann, Jimmy Dillon, Keith Crossan, Paul Revelli) backing up Tommy Castro, Nick Gravenites, and Ron
Thompson. Very cool indeed!
San Rafael Blues & BBQ
What’s coming up?? Calendar is looking quite full, as usual.
Friday at Hopmonk
looks inviting, with Dysphunctional
Species funk band.
Saturday a wine tasting party, then maybe stop by
Trek for Chime Travelers, and/or Hopmonk
for Naïve Melodies--a Talking Heads tribute
band – and/or just maybe get over to 19
Broadway for my faves Zydeco Flames.
Sunday would like to be back at Magnolia Terrace for Carlos Reyes … And there’s a whole lot
more on the calendar below. Enjoy ♫♪
