The countdown begins for the much awaited Pete’s Place Music Room 39th Year Anniversary. Just another week to go before the big event, the anticipation seems to be building up with the bands and friends already poising up to contributing and having fun. Almost 4 glorious decades of music and friendship defines and characterizes our humble home. Truly, a privilege and a pleasure for me to be hosting. As always, I thank and praise God for the enormous blessing.
All these years, it had consistently been a pattern that the turnout of guests becomes leaner prior to and immediately after a big event. However, last night was tricky to call. Though indeed the house band guys were a few, the younger generation came in a multitude consisting of performers and spectators dominating the room subsequently refuting the myth. The house band, in collaboration with the young crop of musicians were the performers for the evening.
Monotones main man Ryan Nacino and his group arrived in full force along with some of their friends who came to party. Up and coming band Carousel Casualties’ spearheaded by Pau Villanueva and front man Emmi Villegas along with Ryan Pineda and their guest bassist came straight from their rehearsals and got stage time as well.
Rick Trinidad, Mayette Alberto-Clemente and i were the only representation from the house band. Mayette still had her fill singing most of the evening while i ended up playing bass and drums. Ryan Nacino lorded the keyboards while Alvaro Nacino and a couple of alternating drummers came from the young blood’s group. Ryan Pineda played drums and keyboards as well. Believe it or not, Gab Villanueva got his wits going and tinkered with the guitar on stage at intermission during the band’s break. The jam concluded at about 4am with Carousel Casualties on stage for the set finale. Mission accomplished.
And so the countdown is on for next Fridays big night! Don’t forget!!! Friday, June 14th is our 39th year anniversary celebration! Mark your calendars guys! Don’t miss it! See you all then!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
