Hello!

Thanks for visiting my autumn webgarden.

And for the month of October on myspace.com/clarabellino you can get a free download of " Game Up Bigger Pickle" from Embarcadero Love. If there's a problem e-mail us and we'll e-mail you the mp3s. Let us know what you think, or what you'd like to hear next month.

Send the song to your friends if you'd like, please mention I wrote it if you do. For commercial uses please contact us and we'll work something out.

October 25 we play on the San Francisco Bay, see calendar for details. Bring your out of town friends, where else can you go on such a visually spectacular trip for $6? you can board at 1:45 and stay on til the end, in other words you can go around the spectacular San Francisco Bay all afternoon if you choose for $6, + drinks. There is a bar on board and we encourage you to drink all your libations from there. This is the penultimate Alameda Angel Island route of the season.

*Part of my song "Potential Criminal" is included in a charming film by director Nayantara Pais-Caputi, co-

written with Gino Caputi: "DCBA - Desi Confused By

America", about a young Indian woman adjusting to

her life in New York. Check out this touching and hopeful short film.

A few pix are in the Gallery for July 12, the First Annual Pink and Black Ball in Berkeley, presented by Mistress of Ceremony Soul, 104.1 fm Berkeley Liberation Radio, to benefit East Bay Code Pink. - codepinkforpeace.org - Food was donated by Food Not Bombs.

Let us know if we can play for you for an event, a charity, a party. And any constructive thought provoking or not interesting NICE thoughts you'd like to share.

I am currently in the pre-production stages of my new CD, stay tuned for details. The artwork by San Francisco artist Wendy Wright - wendy-wright.com - is very exciting!

We had a beautiful night May 25 on the Blue and Gold Ferry, thanks to all of you who showed up, your pix are now in the Gallery. As well as pix from many past shows.

The pictures from the Paris January 12 showcase at Total Music with French guitarist extraordinaire Michael Zurita and a special guest appearance by international singer Laurence Barma are now in the Gallery. Google clara bellino, and a video of one song will show up under Total Music on the first page.

Check out the music on this site. We hope it adds joy, peace, fun to your lives. And welcome thoughts, ideas. The guestbook loves feedback and comments.

*Songs from "Embarcadero Love" can be purchased from many download services, all of which can be found on cdbaby.com. Downloads give you music, and the hardcopy of the CD has beautiful pictures by the late and great Chet Helms, cover design by the fabulously creative '60s and beyond' poster artist David Singer , all lyrics to the songs, and credits. That's my attempt at making you realize you'd be missing out on a big part of the CD experience if you just buy the tracks. And my way of asking that if you haven't yet please go to CDBaby.com to get the disk! You can still special order it in 46 countries as well, see News.

* a new video of my song "Potential Criminal" as well my video of Tom Waits' "Swordfishtrombone", both produced by Ed Jones, are now on youtube, see links above.

In the top right corner check out the dance to music, and the artist kit.

*Bandmates bassist Rustee Allen (Bobby Womack / Sly and The Family Stone) and keyboardist Jimi Mc Kinney (Lenny Williams / The Commodores) are on board. Named after the Oakland, CA., "Embarcadero Cove", the marina where I lived during the sessions, the disk was mixed by Johannes Luley (mysonictemple) and mastered by John Cuniberti (plantstudios) at the Sausalito Record Plant. All art photography on CD is published and copywritten by the late and great Chet Helms, (digfotos). For each CD you purchase from CDBaby, $1.00 is donated to Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco through the "Chet Helms' Life Celebration Fund".The cover art is by David Singer.

Enjoy the tour. Get messy.

Peace and music,

Clara & Co.
