| By the Light ♫♪♫♪ of the Golden Gate Bridge Presidio Yacht Club on Valentine's night, Doc Kraft |
Under the weather -- I think they call this the
flu …
This week: last 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.
Friday at Presidio Yacht
Club for Before the Bang (and members of the former Tickets Band);
and on Saturday again PYC for Doc Kraft Band -- where the
joint was jumpin’, just like old times.
Sunday Carlos and I joined
the Artista fundraiser/ party at Zodiac’s:
Achilles Wheel, Luvplanet, Danny Click & the Hell Yeahs!, Linda
Imperial & David Freiberg, Alice Stuart, Harvey Mandel … and more who
took the stage after we left! ♫♪
Coming up: I’d like to think I will be ALL BETTER by Friday. And PETTY THEFT is right down the road
at Hopmonk. There’s also 7th
Sons and a Daughter at Presidio Y.C., Volker Strifler at
Fenix, Rick Kelly (of Chime Travelers) doing it solo at Trek
Winery …
Saturday looking at Revolver at PYC, Groovesession
at Hopmonk, Uncle Wiggly at Twin Oaks, Firewheel at
Seahorse …
Sunday there’s the CD release party for Greg Johnson
& Glass Brick Boulevard feat. Carlos Reyes at Fenix; and Lumanation
and Caribbean Bleu at Sweetwater …
I hope your week goes well. Take nothing for
granted. Be Kind.
Wednesday, Feb. 18 – Happy Birthday, Rob S!
