Slacker

Your Tin Star Blogger had been slacking lately -- apologies. However, I believe you will all agree that this is much better than doing the normal Tin Star blog thing...

Y.Que at the Tin Star last Friday

Ben Lucero's band Y.Que produced their warm Latin jazz fusion sound as usual last Friday. Check out this number featuring Tim on flute, Sam on guitar, Ben on vocals and bass, and Mike on drums.

Click a picture to enlarge, click a music link to listen.

A pretty good crowed turned out.


Ben invited me up for one of Y.Que's signature pieces a bit later in the evening.



Y.Que, you guys sounded great! Until next time,

Daniel Talache at the Tin Star Last Thursday

My friend and neighbor Daniel played last Thursday at the Tin Star. Here he is doing Red House. Daniel was accompanied by Case on bass, Britt on drums, and Mud on keyboard. Sounding good, guys!

The "We're Not Prejudiced Against Acoustic" Monday Jam

Ok, it's not really acoustic anymore. Well, sometimes it is, when acoustic players show up. But not last night.

It was maybe the best Monday jam we've had though. Let's start off country, then ease in into some blues, and finish up with a little fun. Here we go.

Mike Montiel, leading us through some Swinging Doors, after a few false starts, with Dudly adding a couple of nicely timed dog solos.

Heather Tanner was apparently dealing with a cheating heart last evening.

A good collection of musicians showed to have some fun: Alan Deuter, Rudy Smedley, Britt Alexander, Case Tanner, Heather Tanner, Frank, Rodg, Ray Dera, and Jimmy Russell. Here are a few mug shots.



Frank's trumpet has a few miles on it.



Jimmy Russell came visiting and took us on this smooth blues cruise.


Last number -- Mike was having a little fun with us.

There was lots more good stuff last night, but that's all I have time to pull out of the recording.

Until next time,

--Doug

Acoustic Jam tonight

See you at the Tin Star tonight.
