A little over a month ago, I wrote<\/a> about my friend Star La?Moan<\/strong>, aka Marla Stone Lyons<\/strong>, who was dealing with a terrible disease and would be leaving us sooner than we?d like.<\/p>\n

I’m saddened to report that Star La’Moan left us on November 3, 2023.<\/p>\n

As my friend Sabine reminded me, Marla was all about music – musicians, singing, playing and performing. She had a big warm personality, and was able to bring a lot of people together. It seemed like each time I’d see her and her band, the Kitchenettes, there were more players, and more guest performers joining her onstage.<\/p>\n

It was a fun scene and truly an honor to collaborate with Marla.<\/p>\n

Did I mention that she loved LOUIE LOUIE and this documentary project of mine? It seemed like every time I’d see her onstage, she’d perform LOUIE LOUIE for me… just cuz!<\/p>\n

Today, I’m re-posting her performance of LOUIE LOUIE from her last show at Poet and the Patriot, a cool pub in Santa Cruz with some amazing history that unfortunately shut down permanently in 2020. <\/p>\n
