Daylight Savings Time begins March 8 so set your clocks ahead one hour. Ken Rexrode’s Fallbrook Live is back this month with none other than Daring Greatly. His Mardi Gras cruise is only two days later. Greg Douglass will be at Sky Mama’s Barn, pretty cool place. Between the Carlsbad Flower Fields, Cruisin’ Grand, Gator by the Bay and the Humphrey’s concert schedules being published, I can feel summer just around the corner!
