Happy Thanksgiving! Or rather, Friendsgiving!
Daylight Savings Time is here once again, we fall back one hour on Sunday, Nov. 3.
I’ve added the schedule for Proud Mary’s in San Diego, along with some info and links for Humphrey’s Backstage Live and Tio Leo’s. Their schedules are very extensive and varied, better to click on the link for them, plus Tio Leo’s has three locations and all have live music.
There will be a unique concert at a private residence and horse barn in Escondido Nov. 2, at 6pm. It is only held once per year and costs $20. The performers are Jackie Venson and Christopher Dale.
