HI,
I like to invite you to my concert in Berkeley next week. I play spiritual eco-folk music - a bit like Cat Stevens or Donovan (I wish!) if you remember them! And I have an ecological multimedia show that goes with the music called "Warriors of the Rainbow". There will be a short meditation at the end of the concert, followed by light refreshments. I'd love you to come:
Berkeley Saturday 6th September
House concert at the home of Mark Friedman and Carolyn Said

If Obama's speech tonight in Denver is anything like his appearance last night, there will be much to celebrate. Come on down to the Starry Plough, Berkeley, and celebrate the dawn of a new day for America!
That's when I'll bring my critically acclaimed Latin-infused neo-folk music back to the Plough as part of an international, multilingual lineup including Geva Alon from Tel Aviv, and Krystle Warren, from Paris, New York and San Francisco.
I know it's a school night, but I'll start early.

A night of excellent draft beer, fine food and terrific live music played through a new, tuned Meyer Sound system. It doesn’t get any better than that ...
Good news: the Sunday Contra Costa Times rated Steve Taylor-Ramírez’ June 11 show at the Plough & Stars a "best bet" (page D5, May 25). They even put my pic next to Death Cab for Cutie and Brad Paisley. Not bad company to be in ...
As the paper says: "Berkeley musician Steve Taylor-Ramírez takes his Latin-infused neo-folk, across the Bay to San Francisco's Plough and Stars pub, 9 p.m. 116 Clement St. Free. (415) 751-1122, http://www. theploughandstars. com."
We hope you can make it. Espero que allá nos vemos.
