Is there a cure for the summertime blues?
Hello everyone.
Summer is in full swing across the nation but nowhere else is it more apparent than it is here in good 'ol Redding, California. Here the norm is 105 degrees, more than less as an average, for long stretches at a time. In fact it is hotter here than in the desert southwest, or even in our deserts of California.
Probably the only places hotter than this place is. . . hmmm. . .let me see. . . Oh yeah, Death Valley. I think they named the wrong place Death Valley.
But the majical band has been very hot this year too. In fact it has been one of the busiest years for us so far, and that goes back 8 years now.
I remember when we were a three piece band, and I know some of you remember that too. It was me, Michael P. and Hilario. We got together and started practicing and rehearsing old rock tunes and original tunes too, which eventually turned into the majical songs of today.
I started to put that latin flair into our music and that was way before the latino wave was even in motion. All the bands around here were playing either top forty, blues, or cunt-ry music. And then we burst on the scene with the island sounds and the latino grooves. It was great. We were accepted and we were busy.
Our first place we played at, tha first gig, I remember, was the Old Millhouse Deli owned by Bob Gallegos. We played up on the patio and it was before all the new stages and beautiful areas were constructed. We had about 100 or more dancers and partiers. It was heaven to me and the boys too. And it's been busy ever since.
Gotta love that, and I do.
Now that we come to, what is possibly the last big public concert of the year, it is fitting that it will be held at the Old Millhouse Deli; a venue close to my heart; a place of beginnings, of belonging and of continuation. I will always be grateful that Bob gave me, and my compadres, our first taste of playing in front of a crowd as the Majical band, and I will always feel blessed that you, our fans have been with us from those beginnings and continue to enjoy our music as it has evolved from the modest early days as a three piece, to the Majical Band as it is today.
Thank you to all my friends for supporting us all these years.
And as we continue to grow as a familia, I welcome the new fans as I cherish our dear supportive fans who have been with us from the very beginning.
Summer is hot but what is hotter is the love and gratitude I feel for you, my familia.
Majical's Upcoming Shows
Majical started out this month of August, playing at the wedding of Beth, who married a prince of a man, Tony. It was a great backyard ceremony with all their friends and family gathered in support of this union. That was so much fun for us, and it's why we love those house concerts that we have enjoyed, especially throughout this year. That was the 6th; a Saturday
We will be playing this Saturday, the 13th, at Sengthongs Blue Sky Room in beautiful Dunsmuir. It is owned and run by the very lovely and exotic Virada "Anna" Phelps. It is located at 5843 Dunsmuir Avenue, Dunsmuir California. We will see our "Mt. Shasta, Dunsmuir and Mcloud" fans as well as our friends from Weed, California and the surrounding areas. And we want to see some of our Redding fans come up and get out of the heat and into the cool cool nights that are the alpine elevations. Cool, man, cool.
The week after that we will play another "house concert" on the 20th, a Saturday, for our friends John and his lovely wife, whose name escapes me right now because I'm old and senile. Please forgive me. I met the whole family the other day and I know it is going to be one of the biggest events for us, and for them too. That party is on and it rings "in" the school year and basically rings "out" the summer. Of course in Redding, Summer never ends so I'm not so sure about that.
The week after that, Saturday the 27th, is the day on the green at the old Millhouse Deli, Bob Gallego's lugar, place. We love the Millhouse Deli and we hope to see all of you there for our final public appearance for the summer and perhaps the rest of the year.
We have another after that too, but that's a September gig. More details next time.

Recipes de Elnicoya
=====================
Here's a recipe you may, or may not enjoy. It is a chili recipe, as in salsa. Got it from a friend and it was pretty tasty. Of course I modified it to make it hotter and tastier.
"My Evil Twin" Habanero Salsa
Yield: 8 Servings
2 T olive oil
1 md onion --,Chopped
1 green bell pepper -- chopped
1 red bell pepper -- chopped
1 anaheim chili pepper -- chopped
2 chopped serranos
1/2 c chicken broth
4 chiles habanero -- Minced
6 md tomatoes -- diced
1 cn tomatoes -- diced
2 T lime juice freshly squeezed
2 T lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 t coriander leaf dried, I prefer fresh. Chop to taste.
1 t oregano. again fresco es mejor. Best fresh.
1 T sugar (or honey -- optional)
1 salt and pepper -- To Taste
1/4 c fresh parsley -- Chopped
Saute the onions, bell peppers, and anaheims in the oil for a few minutes then add the chicken broth and saute until the broth is about gone.
Add the habaneros (I roasted mine first), the serranos, the diced tomatoes (okay, you can add the extra can to cut the heat down a bit, but if you want it super hot you can eliminate the can or add a couple more of the habaneros) You know me, I like it hot ;-)
lime and lemon juices, coriander, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 or 30 minutes and add the parsley and simmer a few more minutes.
Thank You
Thanks again, for all you do and I hope you enjoyed the rantings of a musical lunatic. You can always unsubscribe at any time but I hope you stay with us. If you missed any of the past newsletters, I do archive them or at least try to every now and again.
Thanks for patronizing the band and for being part of my familia too. Have a nice time and see you at the next show.
