Music Fun Week of Dec. 10-17, 2014

FROG-SONG
Attended a meditation Tuesday evening, in our community clubhouse, with the surround-sound of hundreds--perhaps thousands of frogs.  The meadow below is a seasonal wetlands, and at this time is well-ponded.  The frogs produce a cacophony of sound!  Lovely!  They, at least, are looking forward to the incoming storm.  Not so for me. 
Hope you are all safe, and that the dire predictions for this super storm are overblown!

Absolutely wonderful—and yes, soul-satisfying--to sing with the Marin Symphony Chamber Chorus at our annual Holiday Candlelight Concerts at St. Raphael’s on Saturday and Sunday!  I saw some of you there – thanks so very much for sharing the experience!
Oh, and I’ll be singing again, with the full chorus and Marin Symphony, on Dec. 16 at Veterans Auditorium in another completely different Holiday program.  Call 415-473-6800 for tickets (Marin Center Box Office).
On Friday night, after my rehearsal, stopped at Fenix for Bohemian Highway, new to me--and pleasantly surprised to see the joint was packed, dancefloor in motion, and much fun pop r&b funky music grooving on into the wee hours!

On Saturday evening after my concert, stopped by San Rafael Joe’s to catch the last bit of the always-entertaining Phillip Percy Williams.  He’s there every Saturday evening.

Sunday, as predicted, partied with the other choristers at the beautiful home of one of our own in Strawberry.  Sorry to have missed Key Lime Pie & Firewheel at Rancho – hope to see them next time!

This week coming:  looks like I’ve missed the Ray Simpson Big Band Dance in Corte Madera tonight (Wednesday)  L
Thursday there’s the College of Marin Jazz Swing Dance at Seahorse, with a lesson beforehand from Al & Mary.  Hopefully the weather will not be as dire as predicted! 
Friday highlights: there’s Beso Negro at Hopmonk, and Tie Dye Blues Band at Presidio Y.C.  Also The Mighty Groove Holiday Party at Aqus, and Olive & The Dirty Martinis at 19 Broadway.
Saturday Carlos & I have a community dinner, and then on to a party – so pretty sure we won’t get out on the dance floor.  There is a daytime “Let It Snow” Festival in downtown Novato
Sunday no definite plans, but I see Lonestar Retrobates is at Presidio Y.C. for their monthly afternoon dance party.

Stay Safe, and in this season of merrymaking, please don’t get stoo-pid—don’t drink & drive.  ♫♪♪
