Wednesday's 10-1 Tin Star Jam

So, let's just get this out of the way up front -- musicians are a friendly bunch.

We had a bunch of 'em
show up again last night, too.

Naiz.


Daniel Talache.


Craig Small, Oscar Avila, and Victor Aivila.

Britt.


Pete Springer, & friends.


Doc.


Ray, with Linda clearly in awe of what's coming out of Ray's guitar. You did sound pretty good last night, Ray.

Johnny.

Tom Kendrot.


The Dolphin Diva.

And Ben Lucero, of course. We actually caught Ben lying down on the job for a bit there last night.


I missed a few of the musicians -- sorry, I'll get you next time.


Craig brought his Starship Enterprise foot pedal Warp Speed control panel out. Craig is an inventor, as well as a musician.




Fortunately, it was not just musicians who showed up last night. A whole bevy of other folk came out, just to hear the music and dance.

Oops, almost forgot to mention the music. It was wild & wooly. And fun.

Here's a bit of Te Deseo by the Lion 5 bunch.

Naiz, of course sounded great. Here's a piece of one of his numbers.

Towards the end of the evening Craig led us off on this tidbit of hypno-jive-acid-beat mayhem. Good stuff, Craig.

'Til next week,

Wednesday's 9-24 Tin Star Jam

There were more musicians than you could shake a stick at last night, and they were still coming in the door when I finally left shortly after 1am. Many of the usual suspects showed up, far too numerous to name.

There were a few new faces as well. Hope you fellows come back again. Here's a bit of Stormy Monday, led by one of the newcomers: Michael in the red shirt, below.

Desmond!

Here's a guy we had not seen in a while: Daniel Talache. He is one hell of a blues guitar player and singer. Good to see you again, Daniel.


The gentleman with the orange cap and little red guitar was visiting from Ohio. He led us off on this number.


We had a kick-ass percussion section for much of the evening. Check them out.


The crowd seemed to enjoy themselves again. Thanks everybody for stopping by the Tin Star jam last night!

Picking grapes north of Los Luceros, NM

Nothing to do with music. A friend of mine owns a small winery in Los Luceros, north of Espanola. We sometimes help him pick his grapes at the end of the season.

Santa Fe's Hottest New Band

Santa Fe's hottest new band: The Pull Out Boy premiered last night at the Tin Star.

It was hot.


It was rock'n.

Absinthe may have been a factor,


but mainly it was just some damn fine music performed by some damn fine musicians.

Kenny Valdez, Case Tanner, and Eric George.
How did you come up with that catchy name for your band, guys?


We'll be looking for you next time, at the Tin Star.
