It IS a beautiful day. I hope that each of you knows that you are loved …
There’s something in the air, in the cosmos: it’s not officially summer, but the vibe is
here. Planetary events catching our
attention …
It’s been a fabulous week for zydeco dancing—and will continue tonight with the Flames at Ashkenaz. Also for Mad Men
parties and Sun Kings
Beatlemania. This week I’ll be steering
my vessel to the Rancho for James Moseley Band, and the PYC for THE TICKETS BAND; to downtown Larkspur
for the Food & Flower Fest—and
plenty of music; and Memorial Day on
the Green in Mill Valley with Tommy
& Danny & the 85s. Outdoor music beckons!
***Had the pleasure today of lunch at the Seahorse: Mauro still offers an $8 Blue Plate Lunch Special from Mon. thru Fri. – and it was
fantastic! ***
I know there will be Updates this week, so check back during the
week. And get out there and dance!! ♫♪
