Hi All,

Hope everyone had a great Easter.

Well, our trip to Mexico was a ton ‘o’ fun. Once again we were there for the Jazz Festival in Puerto Vallarta. Killer players! The coolest thing is seeing and hearing these really talented guys and gals in a very intimate club atmosphere… right on the beach! So even if you’re not in the club you can still see and hear the band.

I got a chance to do some jamming with some local players while I was there. One was a country band and the other was a ‘classic rock’ band. It’s always fun for me. There’s a lot of live music in Puerto Vallarta so there are a lot of decent players ’cause it is very competitive. We will go again.

On the home front – It was good to get back home and to the Saturday Afternoon Jam. The Grey Men are still doing Tuesday rehearsals and that is getting tighter. I’m working on another original tune. I’m trying to write a bass line at this point.

My drumming seems to have gotten more relaxed as of late. Could be just old age – lol.

See ya next time!
