After some tangy salsa (music) w/Board member sitting in, doing
his extra-terrestrial santana kinda thang, the dentures brought
us to the beach and stole on of our kids (Byron), now it’s
the dentures plus the braces! now the kids are taking over…I
don’t know, how does surfmasters sound?
Dylan
Swift – 11:12
Well, I just went Christmas shopping. I’ve done I’ve
come to do, I’ve accomplished what I needed to accomplish.
It’s been a long morning. I bopped, I dropped, and now it’s
time for me to stop. So this surf band is jamming out. We played
some minor tunes, we made some major leaps, bounds and giant steps
in our playing. I’ve got a lot to learn. Most of all we
have friendship. I hope happily participate in this marathon again,
anything to support an organization which unites what the musicians
in the community. Thanks again, but I’ve got family from
out of town showing up any minute, so long; jazz on.
Scott
Brown 11:30 am Tuesday
Just looking at Bruce and Mckinley makes me want to go back to
bed. Go JAZZMASTERS!
chris
lopez- 11:49
man…. I just got finished playing with the dentures + braces.
‘twas awesome. Didn’t know allot of the tunes, but
since when have I let that stop me??? never as amatter of fact.
bt man was it great for me to get my blues riffs out there even
in some quasi difficult keys. anyway…. My neck hurts, so
does my throat. and when I get home…. I’m taking a
nap.
Emilie
Lygren 11:54
Had to leave for the dentist… fun stuff. Alex and Bruce
are smokin’ but they got the sleepies in their eyes…I
wonder how much longer they’ll hold up. peace out
Bruce Forman
scott brown’s band just took over w/kenny stahl, steve ezzo,
andy weis and the irrepressible noah on fiddle, more food showed
up, I think I’ll go with the conventional wisdom and check
to see if my eyelids are a leakin’ …never made it,
food and events conspired. the band burned kids and pros…the
jazzmasters way…I’m so proud of the kids and gratified
by the support of the musicians, parents and locals who are hangin…wow!
now, the Magic 63 swing band is gonna take it from here.
Andy Weis
Thank you Bruce, Mike and all who are involved with this Very
worthwhile program.
When I was asked to do this I couldn’t say “yes”
fast enough. It would be good if ALL towns and cities in the USA
and abroad would adopt similar programs as JazzMasters. The dream
of so many children worldwide can finally be realized with Jazz
Masters. The result (besides the obvious future great musicians
who otherwise would never be) is the self esteem and tools to
work as part of a team. GREAT music is almost as essential as
air, food and water. This program realizes that the future of
music is in the hands of the younger generation and wishes to
get this generation off to the best possible start. THAT is why
I am honored to take part in this event. I hope that I am lucky
enough to get asked to do this again or anything else where I
can be of help. Thanks Bruce, you’re a REAL class act…both
on and off the stage.
matt hannas-1:40p.m.
I returned with my friend alex, we were obviously too lazy to
stay. welcome back matt and alex! they were of course immediately
put to work, they’re playing a train right now. 63ers are
outta here: Bob Phillips, Lee Durley, Dennis Murphy and Jim Vanderzwaan…thanks
a million guys! the kids are gonna take this flag to the finish.
we do have a visit from a hot club group, but other than that,
I think we’ll let the kids go in glory…heck, they
did the major lifting here…and all are sounding appreciably
better…hope they practice over the holiday. unbelievably,
herbie is still awake…how many tunes so far, herbie? “140”
he says, cheerfully. block 4 is coming to a close, plenty of supplies
to hold us over.
chris
lopez-2:41
man… this is the fourth time we have played blue bossa….
I think it shall be nominated the most overused song of the whole
marathon…. I hope more bands come on…. I want to jam
more… It’d be cool if someone came
matt
hannas-2:42
gee I actually played without messing everbody up alex keeps making
fun of me playing I think I’m doing fine.
Bruce
Forman
well you just can’t please
everybody…I mean, chris has jammed with just about every
player in Monterey county and he’s complaining for more,
normally coverage of that many players would take a month of good
gigs, I hope jazzmasters isn’t spoiling peeps. anyway, we
swing intro the last block…wahoo! maybe miles davis will
come in to play with chris…one never knows…see you
on the next page.
