Wednesday, June 15, 2011

This past weekend I saw the first Summer Nights series concerts of 2011 by KPCC with NPR. The concert featured Diego Garcia in old Pasadena. This was enjoyable and a margarita was in hand!

The Album Cover is
Tranquil & Appealing!

"The Songs Conjure The Spirit Of 1970s Romantic Troubadours Like Sandro, Jose Jose, And Jobim With Introspective Lyrics, Lush String Arrangements And Delicate Spanish Guitars."

ALSO...!

A fantastic Friday evening was had at Hollyhock House, the first building by Frank Lloyd Wright in Los Angeles- located on Olive Hill just off Hollywood Boulevard. It was a fundraising celebration for restoration of the grounds and what would be his 144th birthday!

The celebration included tours, silent auction, live swing music and of course, Birthday Cake! The Art Deco Society of Los Angeles was a big contributor of the event with its included colorful members fashioned in 1920's outfits.


I was the lucky bid winner for this book;
