I made it from Berkeley to Santa Cruz in time for Friday night on Pacific Avenue. Surprisingly cold, I ducked into a store to buy a warmer top and emerged to hear familiar music. I walked down the block toward it and sure enough, it was Kazunga–my favorite marimba booth, still going strong fourteen years after my move from the Santa Cruz area to Mexico.

He was glad to see me as well–especially the bill I put in his collection cup. A nice tune followed. Even his accordion was well-dressed.
The Tannery art studios were having their usual “First Friday” Open Studios.

Wonderful to be back in Santa Cruz with all its street activity, great restaurants and old friends. It’s going to be a busy week.
