Santa Baby live at the Plush Room, SF, Dec.17,18,19

SANTA BAY-BEEE!!!

LFB's successful performances at Donna Sachet's (15th Annual) SONGS OF THE SEASON at the Plush Room in San Francisco brought down the house with a funky and modern rendition of Santa Baby.

A fund-raiser for this cause:

Aids Emergency Fund (AEF) was one of the nation’s earliest responders to AIDS. In the summer of 1982, AEF began providing emergency financial assistance to people who had been fired and evicted by panicked employers and landlords because they showed symptoms of a mysterious and deadly illness.

Since then, AIDS Emergency Fund (AEF) has provided nearly $25,000,000 in emergency financial assistance to people facing the challenges of living with debilitating HIV and AIDS. This has been made possible by the overwhelming support from the San Francisco community. AEF's very low overhead is covered by corporate and foundation gifts, which means 100% of all funds from individuals and community events goes directly to clients in need.

Each year approximately 2,500 low-income San Franciscans get help from AEF – enabling them to maintain housing and utility services, make medical co-payments, and meet other critical expenses while they are too sick to work. And, AEF works closely with more than 40 other AIDS service agencies in San Francisco to assure that its emergency assistance is coupled with referrals to other organizations that provide meals, counseling, subsidized housing and other longer-term assistance.


So, this is a fun-hearted event with support to an excellent cause. We support their goals and purpose.

And to everybody: A WISH OF A HAPPY HOLIDAY AND MERRY CHRISTMAS and a sincere wish for a BOUNTIFUL NEW YEAR 2008.

Our singer KATHLEEN ANTONIA in her solo album!!!

Hey All,

Hope everybody had a really good weekend. Getting ready for the Holidaze, it's that most wonderful (or stressful) time of year... hahaha

Okay, I want to tell you all about one of lead members, Kathleen Antonia and her new solo jazz album that I helped her engineer and produce.

Kathleen has recorded at BaySounds and did an very heartfelt and amazing album of jazz standards with piano accompaniment with a bonus track of an original song she wrote and played guitar on.

It's such a sweet sentimental journey showcasing her emotional range as a singer. Just to let you all know on a secret, she just rocked the house at our LFB CD release party a few weeks ago. She performed three songs, one song from her solo album "I'll Be Seeing You (In All the Old Familiar Places)", plus did a touching yet sassy tribute to Jo-Carol, our band member who passed away in our formative year, doing "Everywoman" and brought her beau Chris up on stage for some impromptu performances, and then ruled with "Body Electric remix" in the LFB Dance Medley

But in this blog I really want to give her props as a singer, with us, and solo, as an actor featured in national and international films, stage plays up and down over the west coast and even some very high-profile national commercials even with a one-liner saying "wow" in a two second spot that has shown up on all our tv shows thousands and thousands of times for the past year or two.

Kudos and love to you Kathleen.

Before I forget, let me send you to her myspace site, if you haven't already clicked on her profiles on this site.

Support an blossoming talent and buy her album "Next Time". It's the perfect Christmas gift for any one in your family and friends who love jazz and the vocal standards that EVERY type of folk all can recognize and enjoy.


Sending everyone love this Sunday night,
