Finnegan's Birthday Party 2008 with Big 12
 |
| Sixteen of the seventy-five crazy kids that packed the Studio Correction: Finnegan informs me that this pic is from an earlier Summer eve, not the night of his infamous birthday party. Regardless, given the usual suspects, I suspect that the caption above is still accurate. So... when exactly is Finnegan's birthday? |

Back Story, Part 3: Cookin' in the Kitchen
 |
| Carrie Cantor & Greg Spinelli |
One night, a year or two later, Cheryl gave her blessing to moving the furniture in the northwest window to make a more spacious performance area. Not to miss an opportunity, I showed up at 7 am, power tools in hand & re-configured the dining room. I was the recipient of a serious WTF when Cheryl arrived to open lunch.
The larger "stage" created a much more appealing performance space & opened the door to an expanded cast of characters, i.e.musicians, to join in on the fun. At about that point, the music / jam night seemed worthy of a name & was thusly dubbed Cookin' in the Kitchen.

PS - Desperately Seeking Susan.... Meg has loaned a Yamaha PSR-4000 to Studio 12.... Help!!! We need a tutorial. all replys confidential....

Brett Calls the Tune
Pancakes O'Malley rocking out to Bob Dylan's 'Isis'
Drummer Brett Vallone is a Rocker. He's also a nice guy, so nary a peep as he plays along with whatever blues, shuffle, folk, country, jazz or reggae beat that emanates from Studio 12. Once in a while, though, he puts his feet down (hi hat & bass) and leads us into the promised land of Rock n' Roll!
Check the comments section below for this week's Rock n' Roll birthdays.

Special Guest Host Tonight!
 |
| Jan & Bob at Jiggs |
Jan Loe will be the special guest host tonight as I will have a late escape from my "new" job. Jan who, as noted in an earlier post, is the Godmother of Studio 12 has graciously agreed to to cover for my tardiness.
Come hell or high water, I'll be back to Studio 12 while there is still plenty of time to play in the sandbox & enjoy the vibe...
Cheryl is covering the food so, of course, we'll be fed with Mama's TLC...

| Iris at the Steinway |
I'll be meeting with a sweet young couple, booking them the hottest band on the East Coast for their wedding.
Yep, at my advanced age, I'm learning another business - booking major bands. I am working for IGMC (no, it's not Indira Gandhi Medical College, nor is it Inspector General of the Marine Corps). It is a full service event & entertainment company owned by an old friend of mine, Iris Gillon.
Maybe we'll get Iris out to play one night....
Just in case you need inspiration for material.... Rock & Roll Birthdays...
This week... Paul Simon, Cliff Richard & Bob Weir
Next week... Chuck Berry, Laura Nyro & Manfred Mann
