Sergio Mendes

at the Stearn Grove Sunday concert....

performed the Girl of Ipanema
 and a few more
familiar tunes that made him famous in the
60's and 70's....


Sergio brought down the roof....
late comers entered via the western meadow...
some made it down from the hill side....
i followed this guy taking a short cut through the woods...
an occasion to initiate a toast....
parents took their children along for this cultural event....
kids and adults....
.... the baby boomers
a great crowd mix....
the twenty something....
shooting the breeze with a brazilian music in the air....
standing or sitting down....
the afternoon concert was
very pleasing....

switching to arrangements
adopting rap type music
didn't work the same magic
the way he did for his bosa nova....

so Ramon and I high tailed it
to attend the art opening of
Lindsey Kustusch
Lindsey in the foreground

at the 
Studio Gallery on
Pacific street

cityscapes constituted
majority of her art works...
but her self portrait
was compelling
in terms of color 
rendition
and mood...
it's a pity
i didn't have 
the dough...
oh well...
(that takes care of that...)

it was a great success in terms 
of sales and lively
attendance of guests...

this coming Sunday
the Zombies are coming to
Stearn Grove to mark
the conclusion of 
the summer 
music concerts....

see you at the Stearn!

  1. You baby boomers are the most selfish generation to ever exist. You destroyed your own children's and grandchildren's future with your short-sighted selfishness and immaturity. And then you expect them to pay for your retirement????

    Can you baby boomers just hurry up and drop dead, please?
