Music Fun Week of Oct. 15-22, 2014

Keeping My Cool, the Week in Review …
A phenomenal turnout for the S.F. Presidio Officers’ Club Dance on Saturday night, with the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra, and hosted by Cynthia Glinka (“If you can walk you can dance”)!  This re-opening of renovated Moraga Hall, with its ballroom, museum, bar, and many corridors/galleries was attended by probably about 500 eager visitors, enjoying the 30’s style music!
If you’d like to see another such dance, please let them know:  email Mira Bieler, Program Director, at mbieler@presidiotrust.gov.  I for one would like to return.

Here are a few videos from the evening:
So Long But Not Goodbye




Carlos & I also enjoyed dancing to LOVEFOOL at Hopmonk on Friday night; and on Sunday drove out to Rancho to finally hear San Geronimo – another great conglomeration of musical talent (Jeremy D’Antonio, Darren Nelson & Friends).  Highly recommended!

Big highlight for this week will be the major PARTY on Friday night at Presidio Yacht Club for the debut of the James Moseley Dance Band♫♪

And I want to give a special shout-out to Erma Murphy and Daniel Patrick of Murphy Productions, who will be honored on Sunday evening at the 20th Annual Milley Awards, for their contributions to the Marin art and music scene.

A little brain-dead at this time after many phone calls and emails back East on behalf of Jay, so don’t really know what else I have planned this week for my Music Therapy!  ;-)  But trusting that it will revive my Spirits ♫♪
