It was already past midnight when the jam finally started. Just as soon as we had a proper line-up of musicians did we make it happen. As usual, i was already in the music room preparing at 8pm and waiting for the guests to arrive. Only at about past 10pm did the very first guest walked in. Apparently, some of the guys were caught in traffic on their way to the music room, some took their sweet time before finally deciding to swing by and some probably just stayed home to enjoy the lazy cool weather we are having. Whatever the reason, last night was to be the least attended Friday jam night since the start of the year. We were in fact just a handful.
Not to be denied, at about 12:30am the band was finally ready to play. Bassist Rick Trinidad, percussionist Vincent Garrucho, guitarist Joaco Marco, guitarist/ keyboardist Tinnie Esguerra, keyboardist Kiko Montecillo, vocalists Michael Puyat, Marc de Asis and myself on drums were the first on stage. Much later, vocalist Monchie Henares arrived and joined in the fun.
Despite the lackluster turnout, we still got our usual musical fix just as always. As a good friend had said..."It's the quality not the quantity".
Initially, i played the drums and then shifted to bass later on (until practically closing time) when bassist Rick Trinidad had to take a break. Kiko was as always our ever dependable sparkplug with his wide array of tunes that he can play on the keys. With Tinnie in his usual guitar backup and solo spills along with Rick, Joaco, Vincent, Michael and the rest of the gang, how can you possibly go wrong. It was definitely all good.
To my good friends Jun Bediones, Nikki Segundo, Tristan Bael, Mark Longos, Emman Yuzon & Arabelle Jimenez, thank you all for your presence. As always a blessing to have all of you around.
Though really not much exciting stories to tell this time but our usual treasured bonding with dear friends, there is always the next time to look forward to. I have absolutely no complaints! As i always say...mission accomplished!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
