AUG. 14, 2015 - FRIDAY JAM UPDATE

A musicians night was what aptly describes last night's weekly gathering. Certainly, a superb line-up of guys who shows up ultimately determines the outcome of the jam. It was great to have accomplished keyboardist Pecky Casuela on-board. He arrived early with his two talented daughters whom both evidently acquired his penchant and musical genes. Always good to start young.
Immediately the jam had to begin with Pecky having no luxury of staying too late with his children around. Timely, ace drummer Atty. Jj Disini came early as well. Guitarist extraordinaire Anton Atengco likewise showed up adding to the list. Houseband Rick Trinidad, Tinnie Esguerra, Dennis Espiritu, vocalist Monchie Henares, balik-musicroom pioneer Allan Flores, Gabby Villanueva, Mark Longos and myself comprised the whole ensemble who gamely participated in the evening's musicale.

Mediocrity was definitley out of the question. The live music was awesome and gratifying, progressing all night long with a variety of genres of classic tunes played from rock to pop to jazz. As always Anton displayed his total guitar wizardry with his licks and chops along with fellow class musicians, Jj, Tinnie and the rest of the houseband honchos. It was so exhilirating that we were able to capture a record breaker of more than 15GB worth of recording time. Had it not been that it was almost
5am, we could've gone on and on. It will take me more time and effort later to work on these files than the usual but surely will be well worth it. What a great jam! Well done guys!
And so, another wonderful night of friends and music. Another night bounteous in blessings..Thank and praise God!! What else can one ask for. Already looking forward to the next time.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
