At about 10:30 pm, as a consequence of last night's horrendous gridlock, i was just about to concede that the Friday jam was a nix. But as always, unexpected developments happen in the music room. Soon the guys started to trickle in. As if on queue, one after the other the guests arrived. By midnight, we had completed a proper band line-up. Among my bandmates, Joaco Marco was the first to arrive followed by Rick Trinidad. Tinnie Esguerra and Dennis Espiritu made it to the jam as well. Alas, we were all set and ready to jam.
We still managed to learn a couple of new tunes despite some minor technical problems with Tinnie's guitar. Fortunately, Tinnie was able to sort out and mend the problem eventually. As usual, Joaco played rhythm guitar, Rick Trinidad and Dennis alternated on bass, Monchie did vocals while i ended up playing the drums all night.
Super glad that my wife Vicky joined us coming straight from her Friday night out with her sister Ana and friend Allan Coscolluela. A fitting "salubong" to our 26th wedding anniversary. How time flies! Happy anniversary Hon..I love you!
Thank you Gab Villanueva and batchmate Jun Bediones for your presence. As always, we are totally grateful to see the regular guys around. A good audience and critique to the band's performances, these guys (with special mention to absentee Ed Diano) always pushes and encourages us to improve. God bless them all!
At 10:00 AM today, the eye of Typhoon “LANDO” was located based on all available data at 295 km East of Baler, Aurora. It's has a maximum sustained winds of 160 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 195 kph. Another strong typhoon expected to hit across the country. It is also forcasted to dump a lot of rain over northern and central Luzon including Metro Manila over the weekend and possibly till Monday or Tuesday before it finally heads northbound out of the country. Stay dry and safe everyone!
And so another recharging and gratifying Friday jam concludes. Mission accomplished! As always, I Praise and Thank God!
HAVE A SAFE WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
