We Are Indivisible

Hey Everybody, 

Turns out I did not end up having jury duty after all. I was released the morning I was sure to show up. 

Had an interesting weekend. Arne and I celebrated Jake's album release. He is such a talented young man and so humble. 

The jasmine is in full bloom and it smells wonderful. 

Below is that song I wrote a while back. 

Wrote this in early 2017. It's basically a demo track. I aspire to record it with the full band and choir someday. 

In the meantime, feel free to learn it and sing it to yourself or with friends, whenever you need a reminder that there are more of us good people, people who "get it" and understand that we can do better together, than those who don't.

See you on the 28th!

Civic Duty

I have been summoned for jury duty today. Guess I will bring a mask and hope the air conditioning is working. As I write this, the temp is hovering in the mid 50's. 

Dinner tonight with a dear friend. Grateful for each moment. 

We have a gig at The Saloon on April 9th. 

And save the date - April 16th in San Rafael. An informal get together.

Only in San Francisco

We had another fun one this past Pi Party Saturday at The Saloon. There was lots of green in the house, since the St Patrick's Day Parade took place downtown earlier that day. And, unbeknownst to me, it was "Brides of March" as well. What a blast!  People were so kind. I love San Francisco. 

We turned into couch potatoes the next day, enjoying the granddaughter play between watching the Oscars. I get the whole "creating joy in dark times" yet it feels strange to see people dripping in diamonds while so many go without. I guess it has always been this way. 

Back in writing mode and I'll be putting together a couple of events in April. More on that later. Sending love.

Pi Day Party!

See you Saturday!

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! 

You know. 

Sending love. 

Ox,

Got a gig Saturday. 

Same time, same place, different drummer. 

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.

March 14th!

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

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.
