After 3 days being under the weather with head colds and a mild cough, a dose of the Friday jam truly did wonders. Recharged and energized, i am back in the groove..Thank and praise God!
It was a pleasant surprise to see Brat Pack's David Abesamis de Koenigswarter and Christine Mercado back in the music room after last friday's successful event. They brought along and introduced their new drummer, Gilbert Asuque, who had replaced their equally talented drummer Allan Abdulla. We were told that Allan had joined another prolific band, the Bleu Rascals. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Eventually the whole Brat Pack line-up would be completed once again in the music room when piano master RJ Pineda arrives later in the evening. Amusingly, the guys came to fore, not as the band they are known to represent, but just to jam and have fun. Surely, the very essence and culture of what the music room is really all about. Way to go guys!
Last night David opted to play the guitar and Christine on lead along with their new drummer Gilbert. Rick Trinidad played bass. With no legitimate vocalist around Marc de Asis had to take over vocal chores to complete the roster. Incidentally, Chrisitne's friend and vocalist, Rina Santos, joined in and sang a few songs herself. Thank you Rina for being a good sport. Unfortunately, the young international blues stars had to pack up and leave early as they will still have to rest for an early gig the next day.
Shortly after his band mates had left, pianist Rj Pineda finally arrives. Timely, houseband drummer Bubui Colico shows up as well. And so, it's Rj on keyboards, Tinnie on acoustic guitar, Bubui Colico on drums, Rick and myself on bass. Guess what? It was the 3am magical jam hour. As always a special moment when the jam and mood is at it's supreme vibe. Definitely speaks for itself! Mind you, if you see Tinnie with a wide perpetual grin on his face while jamming, you can bet he is on a wild orgasmic musical journey. O well, I guess that's too much information already..haha! Super jam guys!
As always, our utmost gratitude to all the other friends and guests who dropped by. Always a pleasure! God bless you all!
After all is packed and quiet on stage, Tinnie, Rj and Ed Diano still stayed around to chill and recupe before finally calling it a night at already past 5am...5:15 to be more exact. And so, another fun and recharging night full of surprises concludes. All's well that end's well. As always, I Thank the Lord for the blessing!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
