November was a decidedly hirsute month, inspiring the growth of beards and moustaches. While there are still two weeks of beard growing left, it's time to become inspired by December, the month of....hmmm...time for a story....My wife and I spent a few Decembers in the Midwest driving sideways down ice clad roads... assuming the car started at all..and we still get a chuckle remembering the stories about the "bitter cold" in Sonoma County when we would call home. I will never forget walking outside from the terminal in San Francisco and being in awe of what I had taken so long for granted....green...the color of coastal California December. So let's get inspired by December, the month of green and thank November for proving once again, not just everyone looks good with facial hair.

Jim Hurst and Bob Ickes: Here I go again...just love bluegrass! By all accounts these two are bluegrass Olympians. In Sebastopol Dec. 13th. Catfish sandwiches unlikely.
Pepperland: These guys specialize in Beatles tunes. Dec. 14th at the Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol on Abbey Road...oops...I mean Petaluma Avenue.
