Im memory of George Honea

Update, 7-29-2009: Here are a couple more pictures, one of George, taken from that same evening at the Tin Star last August when he was playing with Stirling O'Neil's band.

Monday, 7-13-2009 "Acoustic" Jam

We attempted to cling tenaciously to the rights for our moniker of "Acoustic" Monday jam.



But then we did some blues.

Here's Walter leading off on a Stevie Ray tune.



Then Mike cooled us down with some blues in the key of C.

Check us out next Monday. Or, if you can't wait, come by this Wednesday for Ben Lucero's jam!

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...

Back in a week or so...

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,
