Last week, my Gratitude for Musical Blessings:
Thursday at Peri’s, for
beloved Ted O’Connell’s Memorial Celebration. Between 40 & 50 musicians awesomely made
A JOYFUL NOISE for Ted! Special thanks
to Dave Burns for putting it all together ♫♪
Friday back in Fairfax got
my sizzle at 19 Broadway with Zydeco Flames.
Saturday I did get up early
enough! And Carlos and I made it to the Coffee Roasters in San
Anselmo in the AM for more Treble
Makers, and more Ted O spirit. Then a walk down memory lane through
San Anselmo, and in Fairfax, where I lived for 28 years before moving to
Novato.
Saturday evening REVOLVER at Hopmonk. Great crowd, wonderful vibe, fun gig for all
the dancers--and Dan, Barry, Michael, and Ric having fun right back at us.
Sunday: Unity in Marin; and a long walk around
our neighborhood. I need me that sunshine!
I’ve also been going to NAMI support
meetings for the past several weeks, to help me get a handle on my brother’s mental illness, my
[over?]-involvement as a long-distance caretaker, and my own sanity … Very good information,
sharing.
Coming up for the week:
Wednesday: Hopmonk Open Mic
feat. Roseberry Jam. Rob P’s son
is the Barry White-sounding talent.
Thursday: CD Release Party at Fenix for Last Call Troubadours: Barry Blum, Tom
Rhodes, along with Ric Wilson & Tom Heubner will find the sweet spot, I’m
sure.
Friday: Terrapin Flyer with Mark Karan
& Melvin Seals at Hopmonk; Fenton Coolfoot & The Right
Time album release party at 19 Broadway; Doc Kraft Dance Band at
Presidio Y.C. … Wish I could do it
all!
Saturday: Grand re-opening celebration at [Bandworks]-Sunnbolt
Studios on Mitchell. Several bands,
among them Bait & Switch Blues Band with Carrie Sousa on vocals (and
special guest James Moseley); S’Cream with Knut Kramer, and others. Also Albert Lee at Hopmonk; Key
Lime Pie at Nourish in Strawberry; aaww-- take a look below and find
your fun.
Sunday: Super Bowl Party with Friends! ♫♪
