[Cat's Corner]

Dear Cats Corner Friends,

MUSIC THIS WEEK

Shake off all that ails you -- including, if necessary, any lingering
Valentine's Day blues -- with a healthy dose of swing, blues & R&B
from the San Francisco Medicine Ball Band! Founded by guitarist David
Sturdevant and renowned for its blend of funky swing and New Orleans-
rooted R&B, the Medicine Ball Band has been playing together for over
38 years and always turns out with a host of talented jazz and R&B
musicians playing great dance music. Check them out at:

DJ Leo King, who played a fantastic set for us last week while filling
in for Naomi, will return to the DJ booth this week on his officially
scheduled date, and keep the music copacetic for dancing, enjoying
cocktails, mingling with friends...and making some new ones!
