Timely, just a few hours after tropical storm “Salome” had crossed and left our shores, the rains stopped and the weather improved considerably just in time to give way to our much anticipated Friday Jam Night gathering. The forthcoming long weekend helped, as well, resulting to favorable traffic conditions in most thoroughfares, as some vacationers must have already taken advantage and skadoodled to some out of town destination.The evening turned out to be extra special having granted our humble place the honor to host again an important occasion. Celebrant Mayette Clemente, her siblings Nando & Toby Alberto along with his “wedding inaanaks” Eloisa Mae and Paulo Laqui decided to drop by to spend and enjoy the evening for an extended birthday celebration (actual birthday was Nov. 8) in the music room. It is always an honor and a pleasure for me to be a part of such an event. Our belated birthday greetings to Mayette.
The guests stayed and partied tirelessly from start to finish with the celebrant and her siblings staying till closing time at nearly sunrise at past 5am. The group even brought along a sumptuous spread of food comprising of spicy chicken wings, baked macaroni, chips, a bottle of sparkling wine and sodas generously prepared for everyone to partake. Our gastronomic cravings totally satisfied. Thank you so much!
The band comprising of Rick Trinidad, Vincent Garrucho, Bubui Colico, Tinnie Esguerra and Monchie Henares was on queu and productive as well giving ample entertainment for the whole evening. We started off with just Rick, Vincent and myself on board but quickly made up when the rest of the other band mates showed up. Naturally Mayette, Toby and Nando had their stage time doing vocals with the band as well. Kudos to Mayette for being game and a trooper despite nursing a sore throat. Likewise to Nando and to music room newbie Toby for their vocal contribution. Oh i almost forgot...the young couple Eloisa Mae and Paulo also had their share playing bass and percussions with the band at some point. Good jam guys!
Special mention to my dear high school batchmates Jun Bediones and Appie Ramos for their invaluable presence. Truly a blessing to continue to see and be with childhood friends of more than 40 years. Indeed, we’ve gone a long way. I hope to see these guys again very soon. God bless and good health to them both.
And so another fun and glorious weekend at the music room had transpired. We look forward to more and more exciting times ahead. As always, i thank and praise God for each and every opportunity.
Till then…..
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
