JULY 31, 2015 - FRIDAY JAM UPDATE

Call it predictable, but last night was one of those foreseeable times i had an inkling of a similar outcome on the evening's crowd. Next week's anticipated big event surely had something to do with it. Nevertheless, it was all good. Purely an attendance issue. No problem.

The jam was certainly more productive compared to last week. With all the bases covered we were a complete band. Bassist Rick Trinidad and keyboardist/guitarist Tinnie Esguerra were earlybirds. Then, guitarists Nitoy Adriano, Joaco Marco and vocalist Monchie Henares arrived soon after. Game and ever-willing Mark Ronquillos was even around to join in the fun. Bassist Dennis Espiritu, who was the last to show up, eventually took over bass chores midway after Rick left. With all the slots filled, i ended up as the drummer boy.


I am always excited everytime the band learns and accomplish new songs. The gratification is absolutely priceless. And last night was no exception. More classic tunes to add to our long list. As usual, we were able to patiently capture the moment on video. Thanks to Ed Diano for being the cameraman on some occasions and to my trustly Canon digital camera and Joaco's camcorder. Not too fancy but it does the job quite well.

Alas, the stage was empty and all was quiet at around 4:20am. As usual, some of the guys still stayed around longer to chill and for more drinks until each eventually parted ways to call it a night. Joaco was the last one to go at about 5am. All's well that ends well....Praise be to God!

Next Friday, Aug 7th is the much anticipated Monchie's Post Birthday Jam Night. The celebrant is all but ecstatic and full of anticipation for this upcoming reunion with his LSGH batchmates and Retro Verde friends. Of course the music room regulars are expected, as well.

And so we turn another page on the music room's weekend history. Next week we flip a new one for an epic in the making..Monchie's Post Birthday Jam Night. Don't miss it.


HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
