Creating the Mood You Want,

from an Elegant Trio to a Swinging Sextet


A guide to help you and your friends preview the Magnolia Jazz Band


Here we are (in the photo above) last March 15, in the lobby of the Toll House, in Los Gatos. We're entertaining many brides-to-be attending the hotel's "Wedding Faire". This was a wonderful afternoon, and I met a good number of brides, as well as new event professionals. Left to right, the band is me, Gary Milliken, and Andy Norblin.

Thank you to Amy Frugoli, of Twitterpated Weddings, who posted this photo on her blog.

This has been one of those weeks where lots of random thoughts coalesce into a simple pattern. This week it's about simple pleasures. Now where to begin?

Read more of my thoughts about "The Simple Meaning of Life".

And after that, please read some of my latest thoughts about "Networking".


Will you be celebrating a significant event soon? Throw a party and include us. Or do you have friends planning their wedding? Please recommend us. Forward this note or email our report "Selecting Your Wedding Music".

Today I'm talking with people planning parties for Easter Sunday and Mothers' Day. If you'll have a party on one of these days, or on any day in between, now's a good time to arrange the details, including the music. Have a question? We'll have the answer. Call us at 408-245-9120. You'll love what we do. We're easy to work with, so let our experience help your celebration.

In the meantime, please catch us at a few public events coming up. On Friday, April 3, we'll be entertaining at the Computer History Museum, in Mountain View, during cocktails at a reception and art auction to benefit the Alzheimers Association. On Sunday, April 12, we'll be entertaining during Easter brunch at The Toll House Hotel, in Los Gatos. Two days later, on Tuesday, April 14, we'll create a lively atmosphere for the annual "S.V.C.A. Hospitality Awards" at Club Auto Sport, in San Jose.

Please visit MagnoliaJazz.com for details on these events and more, and I hope we'll be working together soon.

Please send me a comment. What do you think about all this? I'd love to hear your opinions.
