I met singer/guitarist Bonnie Bloomgarden on a morning walk in Echo Park, California because of her dog Tommy (she is 12; Tommy, that is ... not Bonnie). I saw her shirt message first ... “Under the Spell of JOY” .. then we talked about dogs (the ultimate ice-breaker) and then we talked about music, and then we talked about the fact that she and her band Death Valley Girls going to be performing in Houston on October 15 at White Oak Music Hall. Something about our conversation and seeking joy made us want to end it all with a hug, so we did, and then moved on our ways ... It seems we both needed it and for me, it helped me get through the rest of my day. #UnderTheSpellOfJoy #LAX2HOU #LAX2HTX #LiveMusic #LosAngeles #EchoPark #HoustonMusic #Houston #HTX #HTown #HTownMuse 6.13.19 http://www.jankysmooth.com/death-valley-girls-bonnie-bloomgarden-buzz-bait-music-magic-metaphysics-02-16-2016/ (at Echo Park, CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByuzpGigf-b/?igshid=1twn1d0cekxwx
