Legends of Marin: Music, Comedy & History

An afternoon of Marin stories and the music made here, with three guests, upstairs at The Bungalow Kitchen in Tiburon. Sunday, November 22, 1:00 to 5:00 PM.

Michael Pritchard, Comedian

Robin Williams touched so many lives, here in Marin and around the world, and he isn't forgotten. Michael Pritchard was a close friend of Robin's for more than three decades, from late-'70s improv to Hollywood to using laughter as a source of healing. His own path runs from youth probation officer to winning the 1980 San Francisco stand-up competition to opening for the Pope at Candlestick Park. He'll share stories from those years.

David Perlis, Author

David's new book, Morning in Marin: Zen, Drugs, and Ewoks on the California Coast, is the first full history of what he calls the "Marinaissance": how Marin, between World War II and the 1980s, became the unlikely epicenter of a cultural awakening. It covers Zen teachers, Beat poets, Alan Watts, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, Robin Williams, and George Lucas, and draws on more than five years of archival research and more than 60 interviews. David, a writer, musician, and filmmaker from Marin County, will give a talk and take questions.

"Those of us who grew up in Marin always knew it was a special place. Just how special, and why, is brilliantly articulated in Mr. Perlis's exhaustively researched book." Huey Lewis

Katiana Giacona, DJ and Author

Katiana wrote an excellent history book on the former Record Plant Sausalito studios, later known as The Plant Studios and Harmonia, and now 2200 Studios. She'll DJ music recorded there, including Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Prince, Stevie Wonder, and Rick James, along with the stories behind the songs.
