Catch Us in the Act
Smiley’s Saloon
41 Wharf Road
Bolinas
Bolinas sits just a tad west of the San Andreas Fault.
The fault runs right through Bolinas Lagoon.
Will this rowdy folk fusion band’s high energy jostle the geology?
Come find out or, better yet, do some terpsichorean jostling along with us tonight!

Saturday night
50 Mason Social House
San Francisco
No Cover!
The Mad Maggies and Go Van Gogh
Two Septets, Two rounds each
Come cheer us on. This is our third match with our pals, GVG. Training has been intense. Tensions are high. The competition will be fiercely fun.
Musician Ed Ivey opened this hip beer and wine lounge in 2010 so it is fairly new and quickly gaining a very good rep. Check out the positive Yelp reviews to give you an idea of how cool 50 Mason Social House is.
Trivia
Ed and I played together years ago in Polkacide. In fact when I auditioned for that band it was at a place that Ed shared with trumpeter, John Lieb.

We always have a good time at this casual, pleasant market.
There’s restaurants on the side of the courtyard where we play. Why not do some shopping and then swing by for a snack or beverage and listen to our tunes?
If your feet get happy, don’t feel shy. Start dancing in the streets!

Great music, that’s us, in a fab location with spectacular views of the Golden Gate and SF, that’s the Presidio Yacht Club at Fort Baker, Sausalito.
Close for you city folk, east bayers and marinites so plan on coming!
Playing on St. Pat’s at the Sleeping Lady was an all round festive fun gig. We had a real nice crowd at this friendly, music-loving venue. The whole joint was aglow with green foil shamrocks. And, as the wild and crazy musicians we are, we tried out a couple of our new tunes on the crowd including a sing along in Irish!
Next day we headed into the recording studio to start CD #5 — “Shake Those Bones”. That first day, Friday, we spent a couple hours getting drummer Ian Luke happily situated and his kit and timpani set-up and mic’ed. Timpani?!
Second day, Saturday, Ian and bassist, Tim Sarter and guitarist, GDub laid down rhythm tracks on nine, yes nine tunes. Then today, Sunday GDub finessed a few of his parts.
We are recording to 2 inch analog tape once again.
Next week we overdub tuba, whistles and clarinet, saxes and bass clarinet. That’s Johny Blood, Rhian and Adrian respectively.
Working with talented musicians and the fabulous Wally of Wally Sound is a delight. I love hearing the tunes take shape.
Creating music is a sheer, glorious, agonizing joy.
