AUG. 30, 2019 – FRIDAY JAM UPDATE & PHOTOS

As always, it is hard to predict what transpires in each unique Friday night at the music room. Just when you thought that you had already figured out completely how things are you suddenly hit a brick wall. When will I ever learn?

Unlike last week, tonight was a rebirth of the past. Old timers, pioneers, regulars and even the house band had a better showing. And of course, having around old friends from way back is always a treat. The mood was warm and perfect and with the band busy on stage backing up every vocalist, it was a typical music room vibe we are normally used to. Nonetheless, unlike last week’s dominance, the young blood’s representation was solitary. As always, i thank God for another wonderful evening.
It was great to see fellow Air Force brat Skip Aquino and his lovely wife Esmin and also Tecci Sevilla back in the room. Air Force brat Ed Diano likewise made a comeback after some time in absentia along with his amusing unconventional antics we miss too. It’s always a pleasure to see this guy around. To me, the music room will never be complete without Ed. By the way, Air Force brat John Sarmiento was around as well.
Among the guys who made it over to jam were Vincent Garrucho, Monchie Henares, Rick Trinidad, Ryan Nacino, Mayette Clemente, Nando Alberto, Toby Alberto and Steph Salazar. Mayette and Steph along with Toby, Nando and Monchie dominated the vocals with Rick, Vincent and myself alternating on whatever instrument needs playing. If you must know, by culture, multitasking is the name of the game at the music room. Overall, a great jam much gratifying for all that persisted till past 4am.
Special thanks to Rick Trinidad for the cake and to Nando Alberto for the snacks. Acknowledging also the presence of Luisa Distor, Atty. Maggie Tamin, Mano Estrella and Ryan Nacino for their presence. God bless you all.
And so another successful weekend at the music room had come to an end. I am already looking forward to what’s in store for next week’s jam. Till then….
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!
