What’s
new?
Shoutouts, kudos, gratitude for the past week’s musical
joys: Ray Simpson Big Band at Corte Madera on Wednesday evening; the College of Marin Big Swing Band at Seahorse on Thursday, enjoying vocals
by Vicki Marinko & others, and swing dance lesson from Al & Mary; James Moseley Band—James, Jack, Carrie,
Haley, Marina, John, KC, Marlon—at the fab Fenix
on Friday; the eccentric, eclectic, and very entertaining magic carpet ride
from David Lindley at the JCC on Saturday, thanks to Murphy Productions' Erma, Daniel--and
Larry the Hat; Sunday at the West End
Celebration with Danny Click, San
Geronimo, Pop Rocks … yeah, it was a pretty full week!!
It takes a few days of resting up after that. Last night Carlos & I took in Birdman – what did you think??
Coming up, perhaps Hopmonk
on Thursday for Instru-Mental, James
Harman, and Stacks – not too far a hop for us. Looking forward to a new band: GROOVTOWN at the Seahorse on Friday, playing 60s R&B; however that means
I’d miss Lost Dog Found at Hopmonk , California Honeydrops at 19
Broadway, Zydeco Flames at Rossi’s
… And on Saturday we have a community dinner, after which we may get to Presidio Y.C. for the Eldon Brown party or what follows …
or try out another new-to-us band at Hopmonk:
Kingsborough. And there’s Revolver
at the Rancho, Wonderbread 5 at 19 Broadway,
etc. etc.! Sunday? We’ll get
there!
Have a good week—enjoy yourselves, and I’ll try too ♫♪♪
From the Sublime to the Ridiculous -- for your enjoyment!
Ode to Joy, rock version, Ana Rucner cello
