Calm and collected may be a good description of last night's gathering at the music room after a busy and lucrative special event that preceded it on Thursday. Amazingly, as if by perfect design, it came just at the right time for me. Not as spry as we used to be, two consecutive late nights of fireworks may already be too much of smoke to handle, so to speak. Serene in character and ambiance in comparison but nonetheless still got the job well done. God is truly in control.
Among the musicians who came, bassist Rick Trinidad was the very first to show up. Percussionist Vincent Garrucho arrived minutes later. Finally, guitarists Joaco Marco and guitar icon Nitoy Adriano makes their entrance to complete the band.
As boldly and appropriately displayed on the monitor screen on stage, Blues was to be the genre for the evening. It was all good. With Nitoy on board commandeering on lead guitar, it was the perfect mix. I took over the drums chores, while Rick on bass and Joaco on the rhythm guitar. We were good and ready to roll. Eventually, I had to shift to playing bass when Rick called it a night later on. We jammed for over two hours as a full band and later on further downsized to a trio before we were finally done.
In the audience were power couple Paul and Nomy Diano, along with partners in crime Tristan Bael and Nikki Segundo. Ed Diano much later. An hour before closing time, my wife Vicky and our good friend Luisa Distor (who were coming straight from another get-together) arrived and joined in the cluster as well. Perfect company to wrap up the evening. Thank you all for the company.
By exactly 4:20am it was time to pack up. And so another productive and blessed weekend in its conclusion had unfolded. Thanks be to God!
Hoping to see more of you guys next weekend!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
