Last night's turnout was not much different from last week but the substance was absolutely by far contrasting. An impromptu post birthday celebration of a music room buddy was the highlight of the evening. Belated happy birthday to Mark Ronquillo. comrade Richard Parcia, it was another pizza festival for the music room. God bless you more, Mark! May you have many many more productive years and pizzas to come.
An abundance of food and live music was the order of the day. Boxes of sumptuous, mouth watering pizzas overflowed anew all night courtesy of the magnanimous celebrant. As earlier proclaimed by
The music overflowed as well, with more masterful musicians and singers arriving to complement the regular house band. Tinnie Esguerra invited his friend Al Baisa, another talented guitarist to jam with us. Tinnie's penchant of inviting over worthy talents was again exemplified. Al was a revelation and definitely a good addition to last night's jam. Nice jam Al and good job Tinnie!
It was great to see percussionist extraordinare Dr. Mon Alleje back in the music room. Mon, who is based in Palawan, specifically flew in to surprise his mom on her 80th birthday and then spend his time with us after. Always great to have you around Mon! Happy 80th birthday to your mom. May God bless you both!
Jazz singer Mina Andrea was back in the house as well. This time she invited along two astute and talented female singers to join her. Welcome to the music room Kathy Mas and Nickie Mossman. As intended, the newbies will have their time on stage. A class act both in their performances and delivery, it was indeed a pleasure and a joy to watch and jam with. Everyone had so much fun that if not for the late hour (it was already past 5am) we could have gone on and on. There's always a next time ladies. We look forward to jamming with you guys again sometime soon.
Tinnie Esguerra, Joaco Marco, Al Baisa, Richard Parcia, Rick Trinidad, Mon Alleje, Marc de Asis and vocalists Monchie Henares, Kate and Nicky were the complete list of musicians who joined me for the Friday jam. Thank you guys...great jam as always! Likewise, our gratitude to Reynald Perez, Lui Tatoy, Gabby Villanueva, Ed Diano and Rico Tayko for dropping by. Always a pleasure!
And so another fun night of music and frolic had concluded. I am totally recharged once again! Mission accomplished! Thank and praise God!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
