Somehow, it doesn't show the year of birth anymore. I just discovered it yesterday (just when I had sent my niece a link to the post). Unless I did something wrong, my age completely disappeared! See, looking at my picture, Blogger can't believe my age, either! They probably thought I was making it up. Don't they know the possibilities life can offer, they're infinite!


Well, that's it for now, anyway, till I am able to undo or redo the changes, if it's doable.

Life is sweet. Life is good. Enjoy!


Luv y'all.

MUSIC, SHE WROTE, a concert honoring women composers, at the same time, a fundraiser for the Youth Programs of the Oakland Public Conservatory (OPC) of Music.



"Music, She Wrote" 7/30



ELLEN ROWE & KRISTIN KORB - this has got to be the most fun concert I've seen at the store so far. On a Sunday afternoon, where the ambiance is more relaxed than night concerts, it was fun watching 2 great musicians, Ellen Rowe, excellent jazz pianist and composer, on the fabulous Fazioli piano, and Kristin Korb on string bass and vocals. This lady can sing and when she plays bass, it's like she's making love to her instrument, so passionate, so sensitive!



My reviews on them might be an understatement so let me bring you to their links instead -






P.S.

I've never seen more lady string bass players than this month and, man, are they good! It's always a pleasure to see women play male-dominated instruments (non-traditional for women), like upright bass, sax, etc. Talking of female sax players, check out Mary Fetig, she's great, too!
