May your JOYS outweigh your sorrows.
YES! For
another fine week of Music in Marin!!
The recap:
Last Wednesday
night Hopmonk for Open Mic hosted by Dennis Haneda, along with
Ruthie. Friday night
merry-making at Presidio Yacht Club with The 7th Sons (and a
Daughter)—Jake Baker, Debra Clawson, Mario Lewin, and Bruce Wilmott.
Saturday night SPECTACULAR at
the Marin Symphony Gala “Fete
Fantastique” with daughter Laura Mae,
and the unveiling of her newest gown.
Follow her blog to learn of her design and construction techniques, and
eventually (later this week?) her posting of the gown: lauramaedesigns.com.
After the
Gala, rushed over to HOPMONK for the
debut of James Moseley Dance Band –
and thrilled to see a wonderful crowd dancing it up!
On Sunday
got myself over to the Mill Valley Block
Party for major fun with Lumanation and all the wonderful celebrants! Lost car
keys, keys found, returned to me! Fairy
godmothers exist. Back to catch some of Big Bang Beat ... then off to help
celebrate 1st Wedding Anniversary of Carroll & Howie.
Tuesday night (last night) the magical
Marin Symphony concert "French Reverie"!!! with Birthday
Boy Carlos, and daughter Laura Mae.
Coming up: what I know, where I’ll be:
Thursday
at Hopmonk for S’Cream
Friday the JAMES MOSELEY DANCE
BAND at Seahorse.
Saturday quite probably REVOLVER at Fenix.
Sunday?
Wednesday next: Big Band Dance in Corte Madera.
