Joe Bonamassa

Posted on December 19, 2013 | Comments Off

On Friday, December 4th, I went to the Joe Bonamassa concert at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Joe is my new guitar hero.

Joe plays blues and rock n roll since he was 4 years old. He started playing with BB King when he was 12.

My seat was in the balcony. I forgot to bring my camera so I didn’t get very good pictures with my iPhone.

Lila Downs Concert

On September 15, Primo and I went to see our favorite latin singer Lila Downs at Yerba Buena Gardens. I bought 4 copies of her new Pecados y Milagros DVD/CD to give away as presents.
From behind the stage the entire park was full of her fans.

Primo took this photo of me.

The Party Never Ends

Posted on August 15, 2013 | Comments Off

Primo and I went to “The Party Never Ends” on August 15th to celebrate the life of Keith Jackson. Keith invited all his friends and family t0 Phil Lesh’s restaurant and dance hall at Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael. Here is the poster that lists the names of the musicians that played:

Keith’s friend painted these pictures of Keith:

There were over 30 great musicians that played at the concert honoring Keith Jackson at his living wake. Keith has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The Living Wake band played Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan and some original music. It was an amazing show. Keith gave Primo and I a big hug. I talked with some folks I use to work with at Berkeley Lab.
