Thinking

Hi,

It's very late on Monday night (West Coast time) so I'll make this brief.  We went out on the town to a concert and just got home.  We leave on our Northern California trip in the morning (Tuesday).

While I did get some responses to the 'Easy Monday' song, I just know more of you have been humming it. 
"Time can never mend the __ __ of a good friend. To the heart and mind ignorance is kind, there's no comfort in the truth.  Pain is all you'll find.  I'm never gonna dance again.  Guilty feet have got no rhythm...".   

Tonight we witnessed a magical hour and a half at the Troubadour.  We saw Bernhoft in concert and he was fantastic.  He is a solo artist who literally builds each song production from scratch, right before your eyes using guitars, pianos, a loop station, and his wonderful voice.  He never performs the songs exactly the same, preferring to be spontaneous. The club was packed and a large portion of the audience knew the songs.  On one song the audience was singing the background parts and he stopped to listen to the chorus of voices.  He then jumped off the stage and fell on the floor.  When he came back he thanked us for making him a very happy man.  The icing on the cake came as we walked back to our car and a voice called out to us.  It was Emmaline, one of the Valley Cousins.  She had won tickets to the show and was, like us, still in the glow of the concert.  What a night.  Here's a link to one of his tunes.  There are tons of live performances on Youtube.


  
Tuesday in the north begins with the 'Cousin's Lunch' in Oakland, then dinner in Palo Alto with Lisa's dad, stepmom and step-sister.  

Have a Happy Tuesday.

             Peace,
                       Danny
