Music Weekend Update

 Such fun at San Mateo College Farmer's market Saturday. I had been selling my guitar pick earrings and hats there for a couple of years and know all the vendors and their great wares. Super good cupcakes in crazy good flavors like basil and 
lemon and toffee. My friend Shelly runs Precious Puch Doggie Bakery and she comes from San Leandro. Handcrafted cheeses from Petaluma. Fresh flowers and lots of produce. Really tasty sausages, she coincidentally lives across 
 the street from me. 
Beautiful handmade crystal style jewelry by Table Of Light dot com.
She is super sweet and will make special items and even repair your jewelry on the spot. Then there is Jennifer Carruthers silk flowers. So 
 beautiful I bought one of 
the violet flower pots for my mother-in-law for her birthday. It was great seeing all my friends and they cheered me on. Also if you like really quality handmade pottery the students at the college sell their pottery at one of the  
booths as well. I had
bought several pieces over the holidays for gifts.
The ultimate fun though is when Earnest from Sweet Potato Pies sings with me. He is so good and really enjoys it and we harmonize great.
 It was all fun and I will be back in September.
Sunday I was more local at Almaden Market in San Jose. Really great market with produce, prepared foods, kettle corn, jewelry and tupperware.Was a lot of fun I played across from the tables where 
 people eat and one lady enjoyed it so much and was applauding every song, of coarse I love that when people let me know they are enjoying it. The vendors next to me really enjoyed it as well and I played The Cure for the one vendor and Simon
and Garfunkle for the other. I also play there on some Wednesdays as well as Sundays. Today is tuesday and tomorrow I will be at Santa Clara and Thursday in Brisbane. Brisbane is beautiful, it is in a park surrounded by hills with the downtown right there as well. Take care hope to see you at a market near you! God bless.
