Mourning the death today of Sly Stone. As a teenager & watching his band start & develop, he & his brother’s shows were always a delight & full of positive energy. One of the amazing horn funk bands in the Bay Area back in the day.

Old McDonald had a farm. And on that farm he had a pig. EIEIO. With an oink, oink here & an oink, oink there. EIEIO.

Haven’t seen the master, Itzhak Perlman, play for nearly 40 years. His show w Rohan de Silva w whom he’s played for 25 years was insanely wonderful - especially the multiple encores. Bought tics for 7 more Oregon Symphony-sponsored shows this season.
