Zoom into spring!

Todays Music Meditation was a lovely one. I for one was still feeling the inspiration of David Spangler's talk for the Wild Foundation last night! But there is no time to linger - the music is coming at us thick and fast, sweet and strong. Just think: if bullets were music to our ears... we would all be dancing. Where the heck did that come from? Im talking about music - not bullets!

WED April 13,   Boulder Library
10:30-11:30am  Music Meditation (2nd & 4th Wed)

Variety - the spice of life

Dear blog reader,

No lack of variety here. All I really lack is an extra 4 hours per day - that would be adequate, I think! Meanwhile... the daffodils:

THUR  Apr 7,  Pearl St Mall (start @ Bway & Pearl, Bldr)
7:30pm    Bateria Alegria Samba Parade to the Laughing Goat

FRI  Apr 8,  Laughing Goat (Pearl&17th, Bldr)
8-8:30pm   Naropa Afropop Ensemble

SAT  Apr 9,   Caffe Sole (TableMesa Ctr, behind Kings, Bldr)
8-11pm  Kailin Yong, Jesse Manno, Dexter Payne

SUN  Apr 10, Longmont Council for the Arts House Concert
4-5pm  Veelah Hot Balkan wi Meg York, Dave Willey, James Hoskins, Brian Mullins, Jesse Manno

So plant your peas and onions, than come out and enjoy the music!

See you,
Dexter

Fun

All kinds! Start with Steam Punk night at the Merc on FRI, featuring Gora Gora Orkestar. Then double up on SAT with Playback Theater West and, pretty much simultaneously, ZMA & the Lovolution featuring the Alchemy Project with Jim Beckwith, Kim Stone & Kevin Smith.

Confused? Meanwhile, in Denver Johnny Long is at the Merc and Michelle Shocked is at Swallow Hill. All on a SAT night. You really cannot go wrong - fun is everywhere!

So here is where I will be:

FRI  Apr 1 Mercury Cafe (22nd&California, Den)
Doors 8pm     Gora Gora Orkestar Brass Band 10:45pm 
$10 with Steampunk attire, $12 without!  There is a whole lot going on - should be fun

SAT  Apr 2 Boulder Creek Market Plaza (1 Boulder Plaza)
6-7pm   Alchemy Project - live spontaneous music and painting collaboration.

SAT  Apr 2  Dairy Center for the Arts (Bldr)
8pm  Playback Theater West
My last chance to "play back" this season! I really love what happens with this group and I am so honored to get to play at their house a very few times each season. Cant wait!

So, lets go!

See you there,
Dexter
