Gardening chores await this weekend, and it is even sunny! I'm planning to prune some trees, load up the yard waste with more blackberries, and start some seeds inside. Perhaps ambitious, in that I have 3 classes of Macbeth essays to grade as well, but we'll see how far we get. In the meantime, some music notes!
We started the weekend last night with going out to two places to see our favorite local music groups. First we went to the Willows Lodge in Woodinville, where The Side Project plays most Fridays from 5:30 to 8:30. Absolutely sublime vocals by Suzie, wonderful guitar and vocals by Ben, and beautiful stand-up bass lines by Adrian. Check them out when you can! See Facebook link below. They have a unique sound - part country, part folk, part pop. Every song has their own twist, and I like their original tunes the best. They've started playing at the airport Mondays, play at Wild Vine Bistro https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wild-Vine-Bistro/129994877044422 on Wednesdays, many other places around town and private parties and weddings. Okay, we're Side Project groupies and see them most weeks at least once!

After that we headed on over to Grazies in Bothell where my favorite group, the Michael Powers trio, was playing their once monthly gig. Michael is a virtuoso jazz guitarist who makes his living playing music in Seattle. Eddie Ferguson on bass and Ronnie Bishop on drums. These guys are pros, incredible musicians, and the place was hopping last night! We are incredibly lucky to have him come out to Bothell and play in this small lounge a mile from our house! Check him out - you won't be sorry. Friday and Saturday third weekend of the month, 7:30 - 10:30.

Both groups are excellent hard to have a favorite, just. Different.
