Strength in Numbers - The Telluride Sessions
Trio Irakitan
Ali Farka Touré - Red
Funky Lagos - 70s Nigerian Funk

Thanks for letting me DJ. I'll check in on your blog. Go Sky Chiefs! Go American Junior Luge team! Go well!

James

Four-o de Mali-o Party! To-night!

To-Night! Party! Berkeley! Party!

It's our annual Cinco de Mayo rumcrawl, this friday, the fourth, so it's more like a Cinco de Four-o; & it will Mali-themed (as in Timbuktu & Ali Farka Touré), so it will actually be Quatro de Mali party. Anyway, here's your advanced notice, this friday night, my beautiful Berkeley apartment (1985 Ashby). Come any time after 7 or 8, come early if you want delicious homemade vegetarian chilie. Only nine BART stops away for those of you in the Mission.

Mimosas to-morrow.

Sincerely,
JAMES WELSCH
