BIRTHDAYS! We all have ‘em. Some of us like them, some don’t. I’m happy to acknowledge
everyone on “my list” when I know about them.
Yesterday saw shoutouts for James M, Elizabeth S, Jan C, Tom B, and Jae T!
And today (Thursday) is the day for Lynn Asher, who has just finished with her chemo, and to celebrate will be performing
with Danny Click (Hell Yeah!) at Rancho on Sunday, before
beginning her course of radiation.
Lynn’s Go Fund Me campaign has had an awesome
beginning (almost 250 people have contributed), but still a ways to go, so if
you’d care to make a contribution, you can do so here: http://www.gofundme.com/aqs9lk. Sending LOVE!

| The sky above my home, Monday at 8:30pm |
[As far as my health goes, the x-ray still
shows a couple of masses, but they are shrinking. Docs want me to continue another 4 weeks of antibiotics, but I said no thank you. Feeling much too perky, no coughing, my body now
healing itself is my persuasion.]
What’s coming up?? Calendar is looking quite full, as usual.
What’s coming up?? Calendar is looking quite full, as usual.
Friday at Northgate
for Caravansarei. Afterwards a small
private get-together, then Carlos & I may make it to Hopmonk for the last set of
Junk Parlor, whom I still haven’t heard.
Saturday I don’t have a clue yet … maybe Twin Oaks
for somethin’ different?
Sunday I’m running another SPECIAL for Magnolia Terrace
with The Boys of Summer – premiere
L.A. Eagles tribute band … Mention ellenjanesmusic
and it’s 2 for 1, i.e. 2 for $20. No half-price
for individuals, sorry.
There’s also a phenomenal show at Rancho Nicasio’s BBQ on the Lawn, if
you can get there for Danny Click and
