Music Fun Week of Feb. 25-March 4, 2015

I did some work, in hopes that you will go out to play ... ♫♪

Thanks for last weekend’s fun:  Friday PETTY THEFT at Hopmonk; Saturday Revolver at Presidio YC; and Sunday Lumanation and Caribbean Bleu at Sweetwater … 

Wowza!  I guess that’ll hold me until this Friday night – when it may be Rhythm Drivers at Hopmonk, or Soul Section at Twin Oaks, or Olive & the Dirty Martinis at Presidio Y.C., or ??
On Saturday, I KNOW where I’ll be:  Hopmonk for Danny Click & The Hell Yeahs!
SundayHarold Jones and The Bossmen at San Geronimo Golf Course will be packed—maybe we’ll squeeze in …


Find something to tickle your fancy ♫♪♪♫
