Greg Johnson and Glass Brick Boulevard with Carlos Reyes: their new CD “Crystalline Thrilled” -- what a sublime treat to listen to this CD. I was there at the Fenix in February 2014 when they recorded it, and now can rediscover the magic they created whenever I want.
Nick Fitch memorial celebration last Saturday afternoon …
What can we say about Nick? Loved music, lived life on his own terms, had a heap of friends! A lovely memorial, touching (and funny) stories shared.
His friends and family at San Rafael Elks have established the Nick Fitch Music Fund to benefit the Music program at San Rafael High. Those of us attending had the opportunity to select from Nick’s CD collection in return for contributions to the fund. I’ve happily been enjoying Donald Fagen, Ottmar Liebert, Ricki Lee Jones, Acoustic Alchemy, the Pointer Sisters, Funkadelic – thanks for sharing and touching our lives, Nick! ♫♪♪
If you’d like to contribute to this fund, please make checks payable to “Nick Fitch Music Fund”, and send to Bank of Marin, 4460 Redwood Hwy., San Rafael 94903.
This account # should be on all donations: #03140589.
From the Marin I.J. obit: “In Nick’s memory please take time to listen to some of your favorite music, share your favorite song or playlist with a friend, e-mail a joke or a funny story, reach out to an old friend and let them know you love them, laugh and enjoy life!”
