Surely some outsiders may disagree but this morning it felt more exciting and meaningful for me to welcome the New Year a little bit different from what was the norm. Perhaps “different” is not the proper word but maybe “more complete” is a better description?Typically, we associate the celebration with just firecrackers, horns, blowouts, party poppers and even kazoos and the likes. Nothing really wrong with that, as we all grew up with the culture and it surely does make the reception a lot festive. But what if (when the fireworks had already stopped and all there is was just smog and clutter) we had a way to cancel out the noise and frenzy to something more soothing and calming to the system to complete the festivity?
With a handful of musician friends dropping by the music room customarily after the fireworks, my post new year’s eve celebration progressed exactly the way i hoped it to be. A nice jam with the guys at the music room was indeed the perfect finish…and rightfully so. A good decent jam was the icing on the cake, so to speak.
The mood and vibe was so relaxed and unburdened that the level of playing reflected on the final result. The composition of the over-all quality of the sound and volume was perfect and spot on. In fact, the jam was so tight and satisfying that we actually nailed it. Of course without Tinnie Esguerra’s tutelage and resolve we wouldn’t have accomplished a lot. Kudos to Tinnie and the rest of the guys on stage.
Among the other personalities who made it to the jam were Rick Trinidad, Richard Parcia, Reynald Perez, Monchie Henares & Nick Mangubat. Among the others who joined were Arabelle Jimenez, Raymond Donesa, Kevin Lapeña, Dondon Lambatin-Frac, Jet Jugueta and Nick’s girlfriend Louise Dy Suico Ugot. Thank you everyone.
By the way, in case you are interested to know, we closed up at a record hour of 7:15am. Good grief!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
