In 1976, when Linda Ronstadt included three songs by an unknown songwriter on her smash album Hasten Down the Wind, the industry was abuzz over the name: Karla Bonoff.

She performs hits like “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me” and “Tell Me Why” with Gerber on Saturday, April 16, at Studio E. Address provided with tickets, Sebastopol. 8pm. $35. 707.542.7143.

books Apr. 13: Caroline Kennedy at Dominican University

Posted by on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 8:44 AM

In the years since the fateful day in 1963 when her father was assassinated in Dealy Plaza, Caroline Kennedy has led a life most can only begin to imagine. Now an attorney and author, Kennedy spends much of her time in public work and not, as her withdrawal from the possibility of filling a New York Senate seat in 2010 shows, in politics. Kennedy reads from her latest book of poetry, She Walks in Beauty, on Wednesday, April 13, at Dominican University. 50 Acacia Ave., San Rafael. 7pm. $35 includes book. 415.927.0960.
