A Life Well Lived : Robert Redford

If I had to choose one person who embodied the phrase "use your powers for good" - it would be Robert Redford. Thankfully, we don't have to choose just one, because there are many more people doing good in this world.

If you cannot find one, be one.

Three interviews, from the CBS archives:

Sunday: Soulful Blues Brunch at The Sweetwater in Mill Valley

What are you doing this weekend?

I'll be singing with my band, Mari Mack & Livin' Like Kings at The Sweetwater in Mill Valley, CA. If you are near, please join us.

Kings' Lineup:

Arne Frager on bass

Dave Powell on guitar

Martin Cunningham on drums

Parris Bertolucci on keys

We know that times are tight for many of us, so we arranged for a brunch show with no cover to remove that barrier to entry.

That said, if possible, please support the venue by ordering food and drink and/or make a donation to help me pay the band. You can support the music through Bandcamp or my Venmo.

We will be packing the set with some familiar favorites, and slipping in some original tunes. Feel free to make a suggestion, and we'll make our best effort to play it for you. If not this time, perhaps next time. Hopefully, there will be one.

Links to listen and support can be found here, in my linktree: https://linktr.ee/mmllk

As always, sending love and gratitude. Be kind to yourself and others.

Ox,

Mari
