    Another perfect day at my Half Moon Bay gig Easter Sunday

    Another downed tree on another Oakland trail

    “In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.” 

    ~Alexis de Tocqueville

    ¡Hola, mi Gente!

    I hate tax season. 

    But you know what helps me get through it?  Hiking.  I’m not able to get to those trails as often as I used to with this gig schedule of mine, but after all these rains, it’s interesting to see how many uprooted trees have altered so many trails and parks throughout the Bay Area.  What I love about the trails after the phenomenon of these atmospheric rivers is the sound and sights of so many heavily flowing streams throughout parklands.  It helps one re-set.  If you haven’t done it yet, go seek out a good trail.  Your spirit will thank you for it.

    My gig schedule continues Wednesday with another big corporate event.  Then on Friday, April 21, I’m doing a special lunchtime appearance at Pairing Wine Bar and Restaurant in Pleasanton from 12-3 pm.  Don’t come at night!  I’ll be there at NOON!  If you’re in the area and have an hour or two to kill, swing by for a very enjoyable lunch experience with me.  I’ve really enjoyed seeing large groups of friends swinging by to my gigs, all enjoying the company, the music, the sights, and the food.  Don’t miss out!

    Here’s the rest of your calendar.  Gather your friends and join me!

    Ciao,

    Rolando

  • Time to get cozy with a gripping book, A Week’s Worth, by Thyme Lewis.

    A Week’s Worth by Thyme Lewis is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that skillfully blends elements of suspense, drama, and family dynamics. The book tells the story of Mac, a FEMA worker who takes a week off to care for his ailing mother. However, when two bodies are found in the condo building where he and his mother are staying, Mac’s seemingly simple vacation turns into a complex and dangerous affair.

    “With a skill set rivaling special operatives in the world’s most elite gangs, Mac navigates the country working for FEMA. Helping those less fortunate resurrect their lives after the USA’s most horrific natural disasters. In A Week’s Worth, Mac receives a call that sends him home to California, where he will face a more personal disaster: his mother. Her health is failing. His good intentions to help are met with resistance. And people keep dying around them. With a burning desire to right the wrongs of the past, Mac hopes this last road trip to Los Angeles will make their time together unforgettable.”
