Hello everyone,
I hope that you are healthy and enjoying life. For those of you who recently have lost someone dear to you, I am so sorry. You and your family are in my prayers. Think happy thoughts and try to remember the good times.
The Baltimore Jazz Alliance Annual Fundraiser, “A Kind of Blue Gala” is coming up with an incredible night of fun on Saturday, October 14, 2023 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Redwood Exchange, located at 233 East Redwood Street in Baltimore. Get ready to tap your feet and groove to the mesmerizing tunes of talented jazz musicians that they have lined up for you. The dress attire should be blue and semi-formal. Hmmmmm. With all the guests in different shades of blue twirling around on the dance floor, that should be a pretty picture. Look folks, Jazz Alliance needs your support. There will be a lot of music, dancing cocktails and gourmet food. Well, my friends, I am not too sure about their gourmet food. You might want to take a sandwich in your pocketbook or a bag, you know, just in case. You know everyone doesn’t like fancy dabs of stuff on a plate where you twirl it around for five minutes trying to determine what the hell it is before you put it in your mouth. Now if you serve some down-home fried chicken with some mashed potatoes and greens, everyone knows what that is. Well, this is just a thought I had. Go and support this fine organization. For ticket information, go to www.baltimorejazz.com. Remember this is a non-profit organization.
Oh, my goodness! You’ve got to check out the Baltimore Farmers’ Market on Sunday and every Sunday from now through the end of December. The Farmers’ Market is underneath the Jones Falls Expressway. Believe me— it is a lot of fun. Go and enjoy the experience. Check it out for yourself. All the food vendors have fresh produce, and other vendors have unique, handmade creations, or you can go to the cook food vendor and have a cup of coffee or breakfast, take a seat, and enjoy the music while you shop and eat. It is every Sunday from 7 a.m. to noon. Oh, by the way. If you are selling whatever, and are a vendor, the Baltimore Farmers’ Market is looking for you. Go and apply.
