WHEW! That about sums up
my current life …
I won’t grouse on about my
difficulties attending to East Coast baby brother Jay’s dementia and related
issues – but it does consume much of each week.
Meanwhile, shoutouts to the healing Magic
of Music and Dance, and those who facilitated it for myself and Carlos this
past week:
Thursday last
at Hopmonk for S’Cream – and I did! Danced
a bunch too.
Friday the JAMES
MOSELEY DANCE BAND at Seahorse. Always a special treat!
Saturday the
1st annual Fairfax Wine
Stroll. Then Carlos & I took in a movie: Skeleton Twins. Rare occurrence for us! Watched SNL with host Sarah Silverman, and
Maroon Five.
Sunday
morning Unity, and in the early
evening up to Twin Oaks for The Blues Defenders & Levi Lloyd. Funky roadhouse where almost everyone gets up
to shake it! ♫♪♪

| POWER MOON |
Missed the Big Band Dance in Corte Madera last night – just couldn’t muster enough steam to get ourselves there. Powering down. Wah.
There is the COM Big Band tonight at Seahorse, but I’m not sure I’ll get it together for that either.
Friday Lovefool is likely for us at the Hopmonk—for some high-energy dancing. The 7th Sons are at Taste of Rome, and lots more on the calendar.
Saturday it’s in my mind that we can get over the bridge to Presidio Officer’s Club for Cynthia Glinka’s shindig … And finish the night at Hopmonk with Achilles Wheel. If that doesn’t work out we may start at Trek for The Chime Travelers. And there’s an incredible lineup of wanna-sees for the night: Mighty Groove at Redwood Café; Miracle Mule at Rancho; Lavay Smith at Fenix; Lydia Pense & Cold Blood at 19 Broadway …oh, my—and there’s more! Have a look!
Sunday? We still haven’t heard San Geronimo—and they’re out at the Rancho. Many more offerings… we’ll see/ we’ll hear ... ♫♪
