Hey @cecilesalvant, we’re celebrating my sister Brenda’s 70th birthday tonight at your SFJazz concert. If you see this tweet before the show, can you wish her a happy birthday from the stage? We will be sitting to your left (if you’re facing the audience). Thank you!!

Ok @Target, your early (February) set in your #garden department is FANTASTIC (at least here in Northern CA), plus your assortment of @BacktotheRoots (seeds, soil, kits) is great. I am ALMOST ready to forgive you for removing outdoor garden 10 years ago. #gardening

Last night @MsPaulaWestSF blessed an enthusiastic, intimate crowd with a LIVE show @FeinsteinsSF @HotelNikkoSF. The Nikko did a great job keeping us as safe as possible. All guests had to show proof of #vaccination, #MaskMandates were willingly enforced. #Jazz #supperclub

It’s #ChristmasEve2020 and I’m FINALLY getting into the spirit a bit after watching and listening to Adam Shulman on piano, John Wiitala on bass and James Gallagher on drums @SFJAZZ performing the classic Vince Guaraldi #CharlieBrownChristmas. Thank you!! #ArtsMatter

My 60th birthday was 2 weeks ago, and I couldn’t celebrate as planned. Tonight the highly talented & gorgeous @LadyJHOLLIDAY celebrated HER 60th #birthday with a livestream concert. I’ve seen her live many times, first in 1983 and last in 2017 in San Francisco. Tonight was a GIFT

Really looking forward to this conversation with the legendary @Maria_Hinojosa. Her newly released memoir is the fuel we all need right now to press forward. Own our voice and use it for good! There’s time to register: inforumsf.org/upcoming-event…

Looking for some inspiration this week? Join us on Wednesday for a conversation with Emmy Award winning journalist @Maria_Hinojosa of NPR's @LatinoUSA. Her new memoir is inspiring those who are willing to fight for justice, truth, and equity. @INFORUMsf

The @SFJAZZ #FridaysAtFive series is part of my strategy for keeping sane, safe & joyful during #Covid_19. Yesterday @cecilesalvant & @sjfortner brought #Happy to my in-home #HappyHour. The arrangement of “Somewhere” was gorgeous, and “One Step” made my heart sing! Thank U! #jazz
