WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT BIG LION:
“It's silk butter, thunder and beat confetti wrapped without bows and thrown at your doorstep waiting to be picked up, split open, dressed down, spread on, and savored.“
-Paul Terry, Wompus Music
"Big Lion's music is engaging, earnest, and delivered straight from the heart. They are without question a band to keep an eye on."
-Will Holland, Chillhouse Studios
"Marc di Giacomo... has strong skills as a songwriter and guitarist, giving his simple folk melodies, emotive voice and lyrical skills an opportunity to shine... sonically he's more in the realm of Nick Drake, Cat Stevens and Colin Meloy (of Decemberists fame)."
-Michael Fiegal, Online Rock
"These talented musicians have places to roam, with an unusual depth and dynamic."
-Lisa Meyer, Buzzwerks
My attempts to create an Open at the Mama Buzz Cafe have failed. The will be no open mic at the Mama Buzz cafe. The "Every Second Sunday" open mic has been double booked for the second month in a row. It is clear I'm not suited to be the host of an open mic. Thank you all for your interest and support. My sincerest apologies to all musicians poets that hoped and even planned for this open mic.

Tom Ammaniano (state assemblyman from San Francisco) just introduced a
bill into the state assembly to tax and regulate marijuana as we do
alcohol -- i.e., it would be legalized, taxed, and regulated. Like
alcohol, sales would be limited to folks over 21, penalties would be in
place for dui, sale to minors, etc. in other words, it sounds like the
right approach. The bill's official number is AB390, and more info will probably be available soon at www. norml. org and www. mpp. org.
If you have a minute, call and/or email your state assembly person and
Senator to encourage them to support the bill. You can look up their
contact info online based on your zip code:
http://www. legislature. ca. gov/port-zipsearch. html.
Feel free to pass this along. The bill is fighting an uphill battle
against a vast legacy of misguided and uninformed policy, and it will
only have a chance of passing if people speak up in favor.
This bill will provide California with one billion dollars of revenue each year (each ounce is taxed $50)
