SEPT. 18, 2015 - FRIDAY JAM UPDATE - At times unpredicable and uncertain, last night's setting turned out to be quite slow starting a bit late and concluding earlier than usual. Uncharacteristically, the Monotones, who are the earybirds, even arrived late at already past 10pm. Later on a few guests and regular jammers trickled in to complete the small congregation for the weekly jam.
Perhaps as a result of a dip in the climate's temperature and possibly the lack of body heat, it was actually freezing inside the
music room with the airconditioning in full blast. All well and good..no complaints. A sort of a reminder for me that my favorite time of the year is just around the corner.

Similarly, the jam was atypically cold and not in it's usual vigor. The band just settled on trying out a few tunes doing both instrumentals and then with vocals. It did take us more time to attain momentum as everyone seemed to be on a lazy mode. Despite it all, we still managed to complete and video record a few of the songs that we did.
Among the band mates who showed up to join me were Rick Trinidad, Tinnie Esguerra, Joaco Marco, Mark Longos, Monchie Henares and Dennis Espiritu. I took over the drumming chores, Tinnie played guitar and keyboards, Joaco on guitar, Mark on guitar while Rick and Dennis alternated on bass.
The jam actually ended an hour earlier than usual with myself still eager and hungry for more. My desire for more jammimg quickly changed and reverted into gastronomic proportions when Monchie ordered a party sized Yellowcab Pizza at past midnight for everyone to devour on. It was a welcome sight to behold! Thank you so much Monchie for the sumptuous, mouth watering pizza! God bless you!
Let's see what is in store for next weekend's jam. Unique each and everytime, the weekly jam's positive benefits surpass any other. Full house or not, wild or subdued, the satisfaction and joy it brings is unmeasurable. I thank and praise God unendlessly for these special blessing.
Hope to see you all next weekend!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
