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!
