\nSheldon Brown, thank you for giving me the opportunity to cover Ventura\u2019s music scene. Your paper brings so much happiness to those who read it; your contribution to our town has been immense. I\u2019m sure your son will carry the torch in fine fashion. I\u2019d say I\u2019ll miss you, but I know we\u2019ll continue to see you out and about and of course we\u2019ll have those occasional lunches to catch up. Love you!!<\/p>\n

Now to business\u2026 while the Strawberry Festival will be held later this month at the Ventura Fairgrounds, the Moorpark Apricot Festival returns after a five-year hiatus. Fun fact: Moorpark is actually named after the fruit, the Moorpark Apricot (Prunus Armeniaca) which is the most common apricot in the world. Over half a century ago they were known for growing this variety and for a while were known as the Apricot Capital of the World. Unlike the Strawberry Festival, this one is free to the public sponsored by the Daly Group and the City of Moorpark. Live music will include performances by CLU Mariachi ensemble, Conjunto Zacamandu, Moorpark Symphony Orchestra and Moorpark College Jazz. This fun-filled day falls on Saturday, May 11, 11 am \u2013 5 pm on Historic High Street. Get all the data you need at MoorparkApricotFestival.com including where to park and all the other activities and art exhibits for the day.<\/p>\n

The Rubicon Theatre\u2019s \u201cVentura Live\u201d music series offers up a variety of one-night shows from Heather Youman\u2019s evening celebrating the 60s and 70s most iconic women in music to Tony and Emmy award-winner, Lillias White who performs some of Broadway\u2019s best-loved songs. You\u2019ll want to go to the Rubicon website (RubiconTheatre.org) to see all performances which will run through June so far.<\/p>\n
