Barn Dance?

2011-09-10T17:01:16Z

This looks interesting, over in Pescadero: September 17th Work Day and Barn Dance - Pie Ranch

On the third Saturday of each month, Pie Ranch hosts a Community Work Day, potluck dinner, and rollicking barn dance in the roadside barn. All are welcome; come lend a hand in the fields while you work alongside other volunteers and farmers. Celebrate the spirit of community at this monthly ritual of working together on the ranch, sharing locally grown food, and then spinning, laughing and dosey-doing together into the night. The work party starts at 2pm. We offer an optional farm tour at 4pm that begins at the upper slice toolshed ($5/person). Then join in the potluck at 6pm and dancing at 7pm until about 10pm. The dance is $7-20 (sliding scale) to compensate Pie Ranch, the County Line Pickers (featuring Jim Davies, bass; Joni Davies, guitar; Josh Lane, mandolin; Ken Clarkson, banjo; Jon Young & Nancy Vail, fiddles) and caller, Andy Wilson. Children under 12 free accompanied by their parents; if you bring a large group of youngsters (7 or more) we request prior notification and a sliding fee of $5-10 per child. Workday participants pay a discounted rate of $5-15, so come on down and hoe before you hoe down! If your group consists of more than 7, please let us know in advance so that we can be sure of ample space in the barn!

Here are some videos of the dance from the Andy Wilson Caller site: Pie Ranch Barn Dance, July 2011: Pie Ranch Barn Dance, June 2010:

One 'We Are One' Event In Redwood City, CA

2011-04-05T23:17:22Z

I attended a We Are One event in Redwood City, California, at "Courthouse Square." The early-evening event was well-attended with maybe 250 people and a number of speakers. Most local media ignored the event. The San Francisco Chronicle had a story, We Are One rallies protest anti-labor moves, that mentioned Redwood City at the very end. While not covering this event, Redwood City's Patch.com did cover 5 anti-abortion protesters picketing a Planned Parenthood office, in Pacificans Picket Planned Parenthood in Redwood City. Here are some photos from the Redwood City event:

E. C. Scott comes to Redwood City

2010-07-30T01:08:38Z

Saturday July 24th I enjoyed a performance by E.C. Scott at Angelica's Bistro on Main St. She was truly an amazing performer and I had a really good time. She made the evening enjoyable not only because her band was professional and tight, and not only because her timing and singing were right on, but she had a twinkle in her eye the whole time. The part where she got down from the stage during "My Sweet Man" and asked each man in the audience if they would like her to kiss different body parts was hysterical and not the least bit smutty. There was also a Karaoke part where members of the audience were invited up to sing with her in "Stand By Me" - and surprisingly they did! And what voices they had too! Some really good voices got up and sang with Ms Scott and she was gracious, amusing and entertaining as she encouraged them to continue. Overall a great experience and one I would definitely repeat. For more information about E.C. Scott check out her web site http://www.ecscott.com

Goodbye Deadwood City!

2010-07-12T04:57:47Z

Some years ago Redwood City was called 'Deadwood City' by a lot of it's residents. There were a few restaurants but Broadway and Main Streets - the main streets in town - were not exactly hopping. Since then the City has really revved things up and there are a lot of free music events to go to, restaurants to eat at and the Cinema to go to. There are people walking around town at night and the atmosphere is completely changed. If you want to find who is playing on the Square just go to http://www.ci.redwood-city.ca.us/events/musiconthesquare.html You will find a comprehensive list of Courthouse Square events throughout the Summer.
