Earthwise Productions of Palo Alto announces three confirmed shows this spring and summer.

Beth Custer premieres a commission for clarinet, voice, strings and percussion, based on the writings of environmentalist Paul Hawken, “Drawdown” Friday May, 17 at Palo Alto Art Center Auditorium, 1313 Newell Street. This event is free and starts at 8 p.m.

Jazz singer Jane Monheit appears Friday June 21, 2019 at Mitchell Park Community Center “El Palo Alto Room”. The tickets will be $20 at the door.

On Saturday, July 6, 2019 at Mitchell Park, Earthwise Welcomes blues musician Bob Margolin. Tickets will be $20 at the door.

“I have personally known each of these headliners for close to 20 years. Beth played in her project Donz Luz 30 Bezos at the Cubberley Center in fall, 2000. I first met Jane a couple weeks after she placed in the Thelonious Monk competition for vocalists, at a small club called Zinno’s in New York City. (She headlined Yosh’s earlier this month). Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin was part of a blues package featuring Pinetop Perkins (1913-2011) that played Cubberley in 1998; both he and Pinetop were part of Muddy Waters’ blues band for many years.”.

Fans can RSVP to earwopa@yahoo.com to receive updates about advance tickets.

Earthwise Productions was founded in 1994 by Mark Weiss, after his experience helping to produce the Bay Area Action Earth Day event that year. Venues that have featured shows locally include:TK

Jane Monheit at Yoshi’s, April 4, 2018 — she signed my calendar “To Mark Weiss my latest autograph” Only makes sense because I just told her that in 1998 she signed “Thanks for being my first autograph”

Boykin, Booma both Barrett bearers

Dartmouth thing.

This is Keith and his nephew I wonder who is faster I presume the next generation yet Keith as some of his Twitter friends noted looks pretty fit

A2BDF8BF-A1A4-4A80-88BF-BAC59B6BB797The boykinism  is named Brandon Adams and competes for University of Houston track team that apparently is coached by Carl Lewis.

Couple days later I don’t member how I got into the thing about the Dartmouth guy from the 1930s or earlier.

Doesn’t belong here at all but: the governor of Delaware is a former MVP of the Dartmouth football team name John Carney; Why the fuck does this AutoCorrect keep misspelling the name of my alma mater Dartmouth College

Just in case Keith reads this although it’s not a happy story it’s my story: I was recently in a nine way email chain with members of my freshman dorm, Richardson and one of my memories was actually from senior year or the week before senior year when Scott Jamie and I were living in an apartment with bunkbeds.  Just in case Keith reads this although it’s not a happy story it’s my story: I was recently in a nine way email chain with members of my freshman dorm, Richardson and one of my memories was actually from senior year or the week before senior year when Scott Jamie and I were living in our apartment with bunkbeds  and Scott let Keith spend the night but did not tell Jamie or I in fact I didn’t realize Jamie had arrived yet we were there early to work on the newspaper.  I remember Jamie calling me and saying “there’s a black man in the lower bunk”  I admit I pictured anything but Keith Boykin! I wish he had said there’s a future presidential staff for harbor law grad and the outstanding member of his class and that they were someday be a plaque that says Keith Boykin slept here.

Blues legend Bob Margolin to roll up on The Mitch in July

CAEAB0FD-17DD-4037-9E39-D4DADE1DB4C5.jpeg

edit to add, or start:
I am boning up om my Margolism so as to enhance my appreciation of my upcoming Bob Margolin Jimmy Vivino show July 6 at Mitchell Park El Palo Alto Room — about 3 weeks from now. I noticed that his new album, the one I saw in Living Blues, self-titled, has a cover of Bob Dylan “I Shall Be Released” which was also part of the program 40 years ago at The Last Waltz at Winterland.

Weird segue: I bought tickets to Palo Alto Black and White Ball coming up at Lucie Stern center in October and noticed the bands include Mustache Harbor and a Neil Diamond tribute, Super Diamond. Well, here is Bob Margolin standing next to Neil Diamond himself at the big finale:

and

Bob’s record is pressed but hardly released: what is the distribution, and will he have it at our show?

Khrys Davis beastmode VS Hideo Matsui 500th homer in July, 2011

Something about an artwork that the A’s circulated of their star slugger in announcing he had been extended reminded me of the time eight years ago that Rob Syrett and I were scheming to create a chimera  of Hideo Matsui whose nickname was Godzilla as a hybrid man beast lizard as a T-shirt maybe in honor of him hitting 500 homeruns combined in both leagues Japan and MLB.

I got word today of a songwriter out of South Texas name is James Steinle  Who improvised a song about a lizard and then his friend or agent sent me an electronica file pretty good smells like a hit

FUCT is fucked in trademark hunt

image.jpgEsther de jong is a muse for the fake clothing line created by conceptual artist Erik Brunetti that pranked SCROTM recently according to  Adam Liktits of the Times.

Somehow here in plastic alto I’m reminded of a fellow traveler and Americans from DC in Spain Cindy Chance who imagined a parody song “Eat Me I’m A Danish” and that WF here had hometashen half off four days before Passover.
