Party on Pi Day
Hope you are doing well. We are all fighting our own battles in some way -- some on the inside, some on the outside. I find myself going between feeling depressed and angry about what is happening in the world, and being grateful for good memories, determined to make some new ones!

two things
Two things:
1. It's Bandcamp Friday. If you enjoy solo piano, give Jake's album a listen.
2. Reverend Jesse Jacksonc's funeral:
Not necessarily in that order.

Bandcamp Friday March 6th, San Francisco on 3.14 !
Hey Everybody!
I don't know about you, but I'm doing my best to not get depressed due to current events. I will be probably ranting about all or some of that on other social platforms and my substack sometime soon, but this space is reserved for music related things.
Getting ready to be making some music in a public place.
And what better place to celebrate Pi Day than in San Francisco's pizza pie Central North Beach? So come on down to 1232 Grant Avenue on 3.14.26. We start playing tunes at around 4 and go until 8 or shortly thereafter. It's always a blast.
Roy Blumenfeld will be occupying the drum throne on this date. Rounding out the Kings' lineup will be Arne on bass, David Powell on guitar, Richard Wood on keys, and myself on vocals.
As I've stated before, it's a non pretentious place, so come as yourself, as long as you are over 21 years old. We love kids, but it's the law.
Ox,
Mari
Band/music related:
Mari stuff:
Btw, if you prefer to support a streaming platform that pays more money to artists, check out Bandcamp. They forego their fees this Friday, March 6th, and are skipping April, so go check out some independent music.

Save the Date: March 14th, 4 to 8!
There is a lot going on in the world. Most of it is good, some of it is bad.
The bad seems to get most of the press, but it's best to not let it stress you. I've always thought that if you have enough time to worry, you either have too much time on your hands or are procrastinating on something.
We'll be back at The Saloon, 1232 Grant Avenue, San Francisco - March 14th, from 4 to 8 pm.
It should be a party.
I get to celebrate my Irish ancestry! (1/8th)
Hope to see you.
Ox,
Mari

Thank You
Thanks to everyone who showed up on Saturday. It seems the audiences are getting bigger, or it could have been the Holiday.
I'm back to writing mode and l available for more gigs - music or otherwise. I have many office skills and enjoy working behind the scenes.
Hang in there, get plenty of rest when you can, stay hydrated, be kind.
Ox,
Mari
There are several GoFundMe

Bandcamp Friday February 6th
Hey Everybody!
Bandcamp Friday returns February 6th!
So, if you haven't done so already, please visit my bandcamp page, and consider "digging deeply, not cheaply" and buying some of my musical endeavors!
You may just find an anthem to march to, or a song to tale your mind off current events!
Or, if you are feeling generous, consider the following...
Your action might:
- Give me some incentive to make more music for someone other than myself!
- Help place me back on that path to philanthropy I so want to travel upon!
In the meantime, I will keep looking for additional forms of income, because bills must be paid.
Here is the link:
Thank you so much for reading, listening and for your consideration.
Hang in there! We'll get to where we are meant to be, eventually.
Ox,
Mari
