Music Fun begin. Wed. Sept. 23

Welcome Distractions
This week:  a return visit from Buddy Buck (he first showed up a week ago camped out at my back door).  And lovely Laura Mae (my daughter) in another attractive and fun frock that she just completed, with my grandpup Tino.  (check out Laura's blog lauramaedesigns aka Lilacs and Lace)





So very appreciative that I was able to get out for 4 nights (and a daytime) in a row for my MUSIC THERAPY.  The only time I can shift my mind from the complex and challenging situation with my brother that is ongoing in Philadelphia.
So for fun there was Matt Bolton--the very talented one-man-band--at Trek Winery; a high-energy party at Presidio Yacht Club with Before the Bang's "Prescription Strength Rockenrol"; a night of funky dancing fun at the Seahorse with my pals The James Moseley Band; a surprise gift of a Sunday matinee at the S.F. Opera for Sweeney Todd!; and the Sunday night Swing Dance at Hopmonk with Dan Brown joining the Full Moon Swing Band.  Whew and YAY! 

On tap?  Pop Fiction Friday night at Hopmonk.  There's also Danny Click at Rancho.
Saturday Freddy Clarke & Wobbly World is at the Seahorse -- and it's Mauro's Birthday!  Rick Kelly of The Chime Travelers does a solo gig at Trek Winery.
And Sunday fun in the sun at Mill Valley's Annual Community Block Party!  Plus a lot of other great music.
