UPDATES (since
Tuesday) in RED
Wowza!
That’s an appropriate expression of delight
after the events of this week past.
The Marin
Art Festival was superb, with many thanks to friends Erma and Daniel of Murphy Productions for staging such
excellent musical acts. Carlos & I
were there to enjoy Stompy Jones and
Moonalice on Saturday, and came back
Sunday for Lorin Rowan & The Edge,
as well as Lumanation with Bobby G—a feast of frolicking fun!
And there was the Fairfax lovefest on Friday
at Peri’s—for the fabulous Soul Satellites--Frank, Ted, Lloyd, Tim, Dave--and including Bonnie Hayes—who will be leaving us shortly for a stint as Chair of
the Songwriting Dept. at Berklee College of Music in Boston. We’re gonna miss you, Bonnie! (And Danny
Click sat in for a little extra fun.)
Earlier that evening we couldn’t miss the
fabulous Rudy Colombini and the Unauthorized Rolling Stones at Creekside at Tennessee Valley, for the first
in their free Friday night summer series.
Thursday San Rafael Farmers Market – chilly and
windy for Bahia Son & Pocket Change – but they rocked
despite the imperfect weather.
Wednesday we danced to the Ray Simpson Big Band at Corte Madera – you should try this sometime
if you haven’t already—a monthly treat.
Heading into my Birthday Week, the
Summer Solstice is coming up, along
with the Full Strawberry Moon, and
there’s plenty of JOY in the air.
Thursday I’d love to hear Jonny Darlin & his pals at PYC… there's also Johnny Steele at Trek, and Danny Click at the Sonoma-Marin Fair. We’re looking forward to Zydeco Flames at Northgate (Friday), and maybe go north after that for the last of Los Boleros at Pacheco, or Andoni at Rickey's; for you Sausalito folks, there's The 7th Sons at Taste of Rome, and Rockit Science at PYC. Saturday either Cheap Therapy with Dan Brown at PYC, or more Zydeco Flames
at Peri’s, or Cathey Cotton at 19 Broadway, or the DJ at Hopmonk. Perhaps the San Anselmo Art Festival on Saturday
day and maybe Sunday as well; probably TREK
Winery for a mellow Sunday afternoon with George & Donnalei Sumner …
Then Monday is my Special Day! Yay! Hope it's a special week for you too!
Listen to the Music,
and Dance (like nobody's watching)!! ♫
