TED O’CONNELL, R.I.P. 4/29/57-1/3/15. Beloved member of Soul Satellites, Treble Makers, pal of
Bonnie Hayes, Frank Bohan, and so many of us.
Aaaww, Teddy. Thank you for what
you brought to the Music World of Marin. The World, period. ♫♪♪
Many of Ted’s friends posted on facebook, but
it was Danny Click’s simple yet eloquent words that moved me to tears. In very brief
part: “… every day we’re reminded that you just never know …”
Here’s the Marin I.J. article on Ted: TedmarinIJ 010715
Last Friday night Carlos & I made it to Presidio Y.C. for The 7th Sons (and a Daughter). Small but mighty crowd. Then Saturday Pop Fiction at Hopmonk, and they couldn’t have squeezed any more dancers in the place. Sorry we did not make it down to Sausalito for Doc Kraft Band and Johnny Z ♫♪♪
I’ve picked up a little cold, so have been laying low – but
working in a walk in the sunshine (when I can find it!) most every day. Trying to make that a habit. Resting up for this next weekend.
Friday coming up our local
music is Cheeseballs at Hopmonk, and MSA Jazz Band at
Trek Winery. Or further afield there’s
a Swing Dance + Lesson at Marin Theatre Company; and Petty
Theft at Hopmonk Sebastopol.—along with a dozen other music events.
Saturday morning The Treble Makers
will be at Coffee Roasters as usual, with an empty seat for Ted. The Music will not die.
We’ll be at Trek Saturday evening for James
Moseley Dance Band. That’s an early
show (7:30), so perhaps swing by Hopmonk afterwards for The Zins! At WhipperSnapper earlier in the
evening, you can catch Debra Clawson & Mario Lewin.
On Sunday DJ Richard Habib is hosting
a special Birthday Celebration at Sweetwater—would hate to miss it! San Geronimo is at Rancho, Love
Rockit at 19 Broadway, Lonestar Retrobates at Presidio Y.C. …
and more.
I hope your week goes well. Take nothing for
granted. Be Kind.
