Monday's entertainment section brought the following story by Leah Garchik in her daily column:
At 10 p.m. one recent Friday, Leslie Harlib was playing piano and singing at Marin Joe's in Corte Madera to an audience of one man, sitting in the back, eating a steak. Harlib, deciding to pack it in for the night, found $8 in the tip jar.
This was particularly little because Fridays are not Harlib's usual night; her regular Sunday gig has a regular following, with better tips.
Then the man in the back arose, approached and put two $100 bills in the tip jar. She thanked him and offered to play a request. He asked for Coltrane, and read a Deepak Chopra book as he listened. He told her he could tell the music came from her heart.
They exchanged first names; she asked if he was a musician. He said he plays spiritual music "that connects to the bigger pictures."
She played several more tunes before leaving. And on her way out, the restaurant manager told her that the music lover was Carlos Santana.
