Hey! How about getting an early start on your Cinco de Mayo celebration by going to hear Richard Bean & Sapo? You may know Richard as lead singer of the Seventies band Malo. He and the band Sapo (which means “frog”) will probably play some of the old hits, but more importantly, they’ll play high energy Latin Rock. You'll find them at George’s Night Club in San Rafael on Friday, May 3rd starting around 9pm.

They’re doing an early show on Sunday, April 28th at Pier 23 Cafe, right on the water in San Francisco, starting at 5 pm.

“Governor Gavin” calls for end to Drug War… News from Washington… Happy 4/20… and more!
