APRIL 15, 2016 - FRIDAY JAM UPDATE

Friday Jam regular Marc de Asis welcomed his 40th birthday with a successful bash at the music room last night. Even at short notice, his friends and relatives came over in droves just to be with him to celebrate his special day. He arrived very well prepared with an abundance of food and sodas, a bottle of Johnny Walker and an open bar system for the ice cold beers for the taking.

As expected, the celebrant was in high spirits (literally and figuratively) entertaining guests all night making sure that everyone was having a great time. Timely, a good number of musicians eventually came to perform. Marc immediately, took over the stage, grabbed the mic, entertained the crowd and jammed with the boys despite the band still short numbered at that time. Well, the show must definitely go on for the birthday boy, at least while he is still sober and intact...hahaha! Soon, as more musicians arrived and the band finally able to complete, the jam metamorphed into an all-night musical extravangaza capped with an avalanche of songs and instrumentals performed lasting till past 4am. Truly a great and fitting celebration for our good friend Marc. We wish him many many more blessed years to come.

With me, the house band musicians who came to perform were vocalists Monchie and Aidge Henares, keyboard/ guitarist Tinnie Esguerra, guitarists Nitoy Adriano, Joaco Marco & Reg Gutierrez, keyboardists Ronnie & Rj Pineda, bassist Dennis Espiritu, guitarist/vocalist Richard Parcia and drummer Bubui Colico. Thank you all! Welcome back to the music room Richard and Reg!

And so, another evening of bonding, song and laughter had concluded (not to mention drunkeness..hahaha!). Thank you all for another memorable, chaotic and recharging night...Thank and praise God! See you all next time!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
