Music and More Music

A strange cloud cover at sunset.
So how do we plan our entertainment here in Mazatlán?  Everyday I look at one of the many listings that show what is happening that day.  "Cultura" keeps us informed on what is happening at Angela Peralta Theatre (the Opera House) and the other venues for the more formal arts. 

The various venues for the multitude of Mexican music styles is not something I follow because I could never stay up late enough to even catch the opening acts.  Often the shows don't even start until 11:00pm.  By that hour this old man is fast asleep.  I need to find Banda music a little earlier to preserve my sleeping hours.


My daily "go to" reference is Muziclan.  This Facebook site gives me a fairly complete look at what is happening for gingos around town that day and evening.  It also lets me know what my money is worth each day.  It also gives me the weather predictions.

It's Tuesday afternoon as I sit here in the sun.  It's a little cool but has already exceeded the predicted temperature and is 78 degrees.  That's cool for us.  Terri keeps a blanket on the couch to stay warm.

It's mid-week, so here is what's happening around town today.

If I can't find something I like there are a couple other sites to check out.  I have to admit that most nights we are just homebodies, but when we need to dance or listen to good music it can be found.

We have our favorite musicians and groups.  So when you come to visit us we can show you a good time, good music and good food here in Mazatlán.

Life is good and full of music.

Carnaval is coming soon.
