More good news for our fabulous Marin Music
Community!
Lib-At-Large, Marin IJ: John Zee and Teal Collins (link)
WHY
DO I TELL YOU where I’ve been and who I’ve heard? Because I am so
very grateful that Music is such a big part of my life, and that these
Musicians bring so much Energy, Spirit, and Pleasure to our existence
♫♪♫ Sooooo …
Wednesday last: Hopmonk Open
Mic feat. Roseberryjamband –a great Barry White-Motown cover band,
young talent: our musical future is in good hands.
Thursday CD Release Party at Fenix
for The Last Call Troubadours:
Barry Blum, Tom Rhodes, along with Ric Wilson & Tom Heubner & Friends put on a
great show with inventive, entertaining original tunes for a packed house—happy we were
there! ♫♪
Friday back at Hopmonk
for Terrapin Flyer with Mark Karan & Melvin Seals --
excellent accompaniment for all us freestylers!
Saturday Grand re-opening
celebration at [Bandworks]-Sunnbolt Studios on Mitchell. Several bands, among them Bait &
Switch Blues Band with Carrie Sousa on vocals (and special guest James Moseley);
S’Cream with Knut Kramer, Beth Reynolds, Chris Carpiniello, & Jeff
Piccinini. Also Veronica Page, Jonathan Lovitt, and many more. Final band of the night blew
away the few of us who stayed that long:
The Family Jules Band! A quartet of 20-somethings, Jules Leyhe & friends, so fresh and so
proficient in fusion jazz, rock – WOW!
Sunday: Unity in Marin; then Super Bowl
Party with Friends! Was not rooting for either team—so it was all
just strange entertainment.
Tuesday evenings are now
reserved for a NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness) 12-week class—finding
out all I can to assist my brother in Philadelphia. (And soon my Monday nights
will be filled with Marin Symphony Chorus rehearsals, in preparation for
our April 12 & 14 performances of the Poulenc Gloria.)
Coming up for the week: expect to be at James Moseley Dance Band at
Hopmonk on Friday … Doc Kraft Band is at Seahorse—I miss you
guys! But always too many places to be
... Another choice to be made on
Saturday night: Do we go to Seahorse for
DJ Richard Habib’s extravaganza? Or
up to Twin Oaks for old pal Johnny Z and Medicine Man!?
Sunday looks like fun at Sweetwater with
Doobie Decibel System (noon show).
There’s Scott Capurro Comedy Show at Hopmonk Sunday
evening – have yet to hear this guy, maybe that’ll be the night!
And
then we do it all again! Hope you have a
groovy week. ♫♪
