SAY IT ISN'T SO!
NICK FITCH passed on Friday afternoon, February 6, after a severe illness of several months. Nick was the mastermind behind the last
several years’ music renaissance at the San Rafael Elks Club, and
particularly the summer series at Magnolia Terrace. Like so many of us, he LOVED Music, and
wanted everyone to partake. I’ll miss you,
Nick!
Memorial
celebration to be held March 14. Details will follow.

“There are only two days
in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is
called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live.” – Dalai Lama
[thanks, Teri!]
Just
saying …
My calendar: something is wrong with blogger. I cannot import my calendar without everything re-formatting: everything goes in as BOLD and I have no control over spacing!!! Bah! This is taking LOTS of time.
(I am going to the Corte Madera Big Band Dance shortly, and will deal with this tomorrow. Plenty of good shows happening for the coming week!! Stay tuned ... )
Lots of running around this past week – but only 2
music events – and both were extraordinary and totally different!
This week: last night (Wednesday) I escaped my
computer dysfunction for the Big Band Dance in Corte Madera – an interesting
crowd, lots of new people. But where
were YOU? This monthly dance is one of the
best-kept secrets in Marin, and a fun social.
Hope you try it out some time.
ALSO, hope to attend the Marin Symphony Concert on Tuesday evening.
But plans change, surprises arise, who knows what
the “future” will bring. My best to all
of you! ♫♪
SORRY THE APPEARANCE OF THIS CALENDAR IS SO MESSED UP! BLOGGER PLAYING TRICKS ON ME!!

Mark Your Calendars:
(I am going to the Corte Madera Big Band Dance shortly, and will deal with this tomorrow. Plenty of good shows happening for the coming week!! Stay tuned ... )
Lots of running around this past week – but only 2
music events – and both were extraordinary and totally different!
Friday night the James Moseley Dance Band at
Hopmonk …a packed house in spite of the rain, and they totally rocked
it! One of the best shows ever, and some
very happy dancers -- food for the soul, R&B and funk lovers!
On Saturday night (how about that great weather!?)
Carlos & I made it to the Seahorse for DJ Richard Habib’s
extravaganza: Gimme Shelter clothing
drive, Aquarian birthdays, and a special celebration honoring Steve Sodokoff’s
years of donating his time and considerable energy to run this event. Those fantastic samba dancers, driving
rhythms, dancefloor continuously filled … I’ve never seen the Seahorse that
packed ♫♪♪♫
This week: last night (Wednesday) I escaped my
computer dysfunction for the Big Band Dance in Corte Madera – an interesting
crowd, lots of new people. But where
were YOU? This monthly dance is one of the
best-kept secrets in Marin, and a fun social.
Hope you try it out some time.
I’ll be taking the night off, then looking at the
weekend … possibly Presidio Yacht Club on Friday for Before
the Bang (I haven’t yet heard them play, but have heard they make a joyful
noise); and on Saturday again PYC for Doc Kraft Band (I
keep missing them because of other commitments—and I know there will be a fun
crowd).
ALSO, hope to attend the Marin Symphony Concert on Tuesday evening.
