GreetingView: Greetings from the Murphys!
By Chris Murphy
Yes, March is our month. Our area, even with the lack of recent rain, looks nice and green and we all gather together as Irish on St Patrick’s Day so we wish you “Erin Go Bragh” and we welcome you as a family and hope to tip a pint or two of Murphys with you. Friends and family are the main reasons we love to gather here in Modesto. Speaking of family, I am proud to be in a family of strong women and it is great to celebrate National Women’s History Month and turn most of this issue over to the women in our community. My wife Becky and I were laser focused on raising smart, friendly, kind and independent women in a fun and creative environment and we are proud of who they have become. They are the foundation of my life and feel so fortunate. Read More

On September 6, eleven hundred miles away in Laramie, Wyoming, Louisa Ann Swain became the first woman in the United States to vote in a general election. A fete hard-fought against was the belief that cooking, cleaning and raising children is the sole submissive duty of every woman. Read More
Jazz/BluesView: Chris Cain and MAMA Blues
By Eric Benson
Sometimes things have an organic feel to them, they flourish and fall apart and they come back once again. One of my favorite Bands the Chris Cain Band we used to have come through every three months to the formerly Clayton’s Café over the years. Clayton’s closed and we lost Mitch Mazetti one of the coolest club and restaurant owners in the valley but we are back. The location now is Café Urbano with new owner Noel Sanchez and now we are going back to bringing Chris Cain back on Sunday, March 15th. Robin Ford one of my favs’ on guitar said if there is one guy today singing, playing and writing in the Blues idiom to listen to, it is Chris Cain. And also on the Blues front, we lost Ron Thompson this month, of Ron Thompson & the Resisters. Read More
