[Dixielandjazz] Melissa at High Hand Cafe, Sacramento, Auburn CA Area, Sat Oct 30

[Robert Ringwald]

Listmates,

Here is another one of those shameless plugs...  

While Darrell Fernandez and I are playing the Pismo Jazz Festival with the Fulton street Jazz Band, we are proud to have Melissa Collard and her hubby Scott filling in for us at the High Hand Cafe this Sat night Oct 30, 6:00 - 8:30 PM.  

Darrell and I will be back on Nov 6.  

If the weather is cold or rainy, don't worry.  The big doors can be closed and there is radiant heating in the floors, as well as regular heaters.  And if that isn't enough, the music will be both hot and cool.

 County's small farms. Situated on a historic fruit-packing corridor in Loomis, the cafe is snuggled
 up against the gorgeous High Hand Nursery in an all-glass atrium filled with 
 potted magnolia trees and vibrant tulips. Sun-flooded and airy, the High Hand Cafe serves
wholesome, earnest food devoid of fanciful garnishes or esoteric 
 ingredients. This is simple, belly-pleasing fare, from the fresh albacore tuna melt and 
 spinach salad with local Asian pears and toasted hazelnuts) to the wood-fired oven pizzas 
(try the chicken with fresh basil pesto pizza) and the rotisserie pork loin with 
 organic chard and rosemary mashed potatoes.)

High Hand gets packed quickly-L Loomis residents have
embraced this cafe with fervor, so be sure to make reservations,

Do make time before or after your meal to stroll through the High Hand 
 nursery, surely the most fetching and strikingly designed nursery in Placer County. Wind 
 chimes tinkle in the breeze, a tabby nursery cat licks his paws as he curiously observes 
 the visitors.  tall trees provide delicious shade on hot days, and there's even a koi pond 
 with darting, jewel-like fish that will fascinate your kids.
