OCT. 23, 2015 - FRIDAY JAM UPDATE

What a fun and productive jam it turned out to be with a good assemblage of musicians in the house last night. The band enjoyed added leverage with practically having two instrumentalists of each available to fill in on each slot. Around were astute keyboardists Rj Pineda and Kiko Montecillo, bassists Dennis Espiritu and Rick Trinidad, guitarists Tinnie Esguerra and Joaco Marco, drummers Bubui Colico and myself taking turns while Monchie Henares did what he does best, on vocals. The overall sound was rich and vibrant. With all the bases filled and productive, it's easy to find yourself in the zone.
The jam progressed quickly and early on with the band playing instrumentals at the onset and later with vocals. Music room sophomore Kiko fit in perfectly well with the ensemble and even contributing unexplored tunes that everyone enjoyed playing. Apart from some revisited songs we did, we were able to video record some nifty new songs as well. Great jam guys!
Along with great music, the guests had an added treat upon learning that their drinks were already spoken for. Thanks to balikbayan old friend Melvin Herrera for sponsoring a case of beer for the guys. You are the man Melvin! Of course with due respect to compulsive donor and music room big spender Ed Diano..hehe! May both your tribes increase!
Special thanks to Reynald Perez for making time to drop by to pick up his shirts. Likewise to Christine Mercado who, even in absentia, through the kindness of (hubby bubby) Rj, had settled and collected. Thanks guys...appreciate it!
Also, to Mark Longos, Ed Diano, Arabelle Jimenez, Gab Villianueva and his son Christian for their company. Hope to see you again next time.
And so another recharging and fulfilling night concludes...Already looking forward to next week. Thank and Praise God!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
