The weather has been beautiful here.  Warm days, cool nights.  I love it.  Lots of you are already back up North so I'm hoping the weather is getting nice there as well. 

I'm looking forward to a relaxing and fun filled summer.  I will be leaving for California some time in July and spending 4 to 6 weeks visiting family, playing music in Mendocino and camping in Oregon.  I've already begun to make plans for this summer's "Gathering of the Tribe" weekend festival in Mendocino.  My Mexican Shuffle Band as well as several other of my friends bands will be joining me.  Tentatively set for the first weekend in August at my friend's field of dreams on Albion Ridge Road near Mendocino you can expect lots of music and lots of fun.  As the summer rolls out I will be giving you updates on the important things.  Where you can stay, where you can camp and how best to get there from where you are, etc.  Soooooo......stay tuned folks.

SUNDAY, SUNDAY, EASTER SUNDAY BRUNCH AT PHILO'S WITH MUSIC FROM TATAWARI, PHILO AND THE MEXICAN SHUFFLE BAND, AND GARY FROM THE SAILING VESSELL ISHI.  STARTS AT 10 AM AND GOES TILL 2 PM.
