SONOMA COUNTY, CA. ~ The Linda Ferro Band formed in 2008 in the creative


pulse of Sonoma County and has transformed into a multi- genre band. Linda Ferro (sing- er-songwriter & keyboards) brings her inner and outer beauty to her music and to her band namesake. The mem- bers of The Linda Ferro Band, whom Linda lovingly refers to as “my band mates,” are as follows: Mal Tornay


(vocals


& percussion), Chris Badger (guitar), Elmar Kurgpold (sax, percussion & timbales), Michael Balazki (bass) and Michael Curtin (drums). All of the members of The Linda Ferro Band are talented and accomplished musicians who bring a level of creativity and professionalism to their music and their performances. Linda Ferro expresses, “I am so blessed to be able to share the gift of music with others, both on-stage and in the audi- ence. If I can make even one person smile who's listening, then I'm a super happy camp- er! I also hope our commu- nity will continue to support


live music by coming to listen to all the amazing talent we have in the North Bay." Her great advice, about supporting local musicians, sounds like an actually achievable New Year’s resolution!


Ms. Ferro, in addition to performing, also produces and participates in benefit con- certs for various causes that tug at her heartstrings. She was interviewed on the local television program called “Women’s Spaces” by Elaine Holtz, where she also sang her poignant and timely song, “Please, Peace” on-air accom- panied by herself soulfully on keyboards. The Linda Ferro Band has been nominated three times for the North Bay Music Awards; which has a voting process for music fans that highlights some of the local talent of Sonoma County. The band was chosen to be on Volume 1 of Oliver’s Market’s “Real Music” CD Compilation with their song, “Not Him Again”. The Linda Ferro Band boogies out of Sonoma County for its first gig of the year at Hopmonk Tavern in Novato on January 4 at 8:00 PM. You can also catch The Linda Ferro Band


A man and his wife are awak- ened at 3:30 a.m. by a knock on the door. “I’m not getting out of bed at this hour,” he thinks and rolls back over. A louder knock follows. “Aren’t you going to answer that?” says his wife. So he drags himself out of bed, and goes downstairs.


He opens the door to find a man standing there, obviously drunk. “Hi there,” slurs the stranger,


“Can you give me a push?” “No, get lost! It’s 3:30 and I was in bed.” says the man and slams the door.


When he goes back upstairs his wife says “Dave, that wasn’t very nice of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the baby-sitter? You had to knock at the door of that house to get us started again. What would have happened if he’d told us to get lost?” “But the guy was drunk,” says the husband.


at a show called "Women in Charge" on February 28th at Live Musicians Co-Op in Santa Rosa. The innovative show features three different female fronted bands. Visit The Linda Ferro Band online at www.lindaferro.com


where you can hear some of their songs; including an amazing all instrumental orig- inal entitled, “La Tigra” that takes the listener on a delight- ful musical journey. May 2014 be filled with positive upbeat music!


“It doesn’t matter,” says his wife. “He needs our help, and it would be a kind thing to do.” So Dave gets up, puts on some clothes and goes down- stairs. He opens the door, but doesn’t see the stranger. He calls out, “Hey, do you still want a push?”


He hears a voice cry out, “Yeah please.”


But he is still unable to locate the stranger. He shouts: “Where are you?”


And the stranger replies: “I’m over here, on your swing.”.
