Sometimes “Benign Neglect” produces a

| A Rose is a Rose ... Outside my Front Door |
The hour is late, and I could skip the “where
I’ve been” and “what’s on the agenda” – but there’s that gratitude thing …
So I’ll just keep it short, and shout out
Foreverland at Northgate (my, oh my!), Pop Rocks at Hopmonk,
and Reggae Night at Hopmonk.
I missed a lot of great music last week, but give thanks for what I had!

To come?
A fabulous weekend, no doubt! I’ll
be at a high school graduation on Friday, with a party to follow. From there I’d like to take in the Opening
Party of San Rafael Rocks if I can make it. If too late I’ll possibly get to Soul Ska
at 19 Broadway since I’ll be in the territory. There’s also the Sunnbolt Friday Night Jam,
The Chime Travelers at Trek …
Saturday will take in the afternoon
lineup at Novato Festival. Like I
said, where’s that magic carpet to get me over to Fairfax as well!? Saturday night fun will be had at Hopmonk
with fabulous Freddy Clarke & Wobbly World.
There’s also DJ Richard Habib at Seahorse, Doc Kraft at
Presidio, Fleetwood Mask at Fenix, Lighthouse Singers at
Unity … “and so much more”.
Sunday afternoon back at the Novato
Festival—looks to me like the best lineup they’ve ever had!
Surely there’s some Musical Magic in your
near future as well ♫♫♪
