The Phenomenon Continues …
Despite the chills, spills and other thrills that you and I
experience throughout our week -- the wealth of musical talent available to us
in the neighborhood continues to amaze and encourage me!
My [musical] experiences this week:
Firewheel
& Key Lime Pie at Hopmonk on
Thursday. Loveable,
danceable. Thanks Christine and Laura; Evan,
Erik, Angie, Ivica, Art, Keith and the rest of the guys!
On Friday back at Hopmonk for Lumanation along with
Infinite Frequency. Chops to Bobby
G, Saxy Susan, Tom and the others for shaking it up and getting
down--but mostly up ;-)
Saturday at 19
Broadway for my intro to Soul Ska, with an all-star lineup: Jonathan,
Gardner, Tommy, Lex, Jethro--and the rest from Vinyl, Monophonics,
Fenton Coolfoot & The Right Time! Joyful
funk! And a pleasure to hang at the “new
and improved” 19 Broadway. ♫♪♪

About to happen this week:
Friday: The 85s at
Hopmonk; Chime Travelers at Trek Winery; “The Wrecking
Ball” documentary (that excited our late friend Nick Fitch) opens at the
Rafael—I’ll try to catch this during its run through Apr. 2.
Saturday there’s Danny Click
& The Hell Yeahs! at Rancho; Music Showcase (includes Mojo
Rising at 9) at Hopmonk; some surprises ...
Sunday? Might be fun to
check out Jeffrey Halford & The Healers at Rancho – or Paul Smith’s solo
piano recital at College of Marin … and lots more happening!
Rehearsals are going very well with Marin
Symphony Chorus for upcoming Masterworks concerts with the Symphony
on April 12 & 14. We are
singing the Poulenc Gloria—a joyous
and beautiful piece that is so much fun to sing! Other works by Strauss, Sibelius, and a new
one from Mason Bates. Please contact me
about discounted tickets (30% off, e.g. $21 instead of $30, and on up).
Wednesday, Mar. 25 – Happy Birthday, Dave R! Happy Birthday, Bonnie C! Happy
Birthday, Kimberly B! Happy Birthday, Drew!
