WHAT’S NEW?? The year 2015, of course, what else? Resolutions—do you make ‘em, do you
keep ‘em? Hoping we all have reasons for
Gratitude, for overcoming the challenges we encounter ... with LOVE, and FRIENDSHIPS, and MUSIC ♪♫♪ to
help us along the way …
As I suspected, last weekend’s music was at HOPMONK
for Carlos & Ellen: on Friday
night for B-Side Players, Saturday for a special Holiday Open
Mic with Dennis & Ruthie, and Sunday for Fenton Coolfoot
opening for Orgone. Awesome funkiness!
and they got quite a crowd on a school night!
And then came NEW YEAR’S EVE, for us at Seahorse
to celebrate with the JAMES MOSELEY BAND – what would I do without
them?? Thank you James, Jack, Carrie,
Haley, Jean, Marina, John, KC, and Marlon! Hope yours was Merry too. James Moseley Band at Trek Winery on
January 10. ♫♪
Friday (tonight) hope to
get to Presidio Y.C. for The 7th Sons (and a Daughter). Then Saturday Pop Fiction is at
Hopmonk, and Doc Kraft Band (with Johnny Z) is at the Seahorse.
Maybe more … playin’ it by ear ♫♪♪
