Let's celebrate a Blue Xmas!

[blue buddha]

Will ask David Aguirre na rin. 

[Allan Roy]

sana maanyayahan din si Wally Gonzalez............................

[Jim Ayson]

I don't think Wally plays for free though.
Will you guys have a  jam set available to accommodate the guests like Jun and David? because if so, I'd like to sit in (on drums nga lang).

[blue buddha]

Won't be sure if these folks will be able to make it until the day, itself most likely. Deltaslim is the lead dude on this one. Daddy delta? 

That would be totally cool Jim!

[blues2death]

Wow - this is overwhelming!  Thanks for the interest.  Everybody is welcome, of course, especially Jun, Dave, and Wally.  Pero if any of them want to extract some kind of talent fee, they should discuss it with the band they're jamming with.  Kung open jam naman, well, free will naman ng jammers yun eh.  This all about celebrating xmas and the spirit of giving (including our music, talent, and time).

With these developments, I'm thinking of pulling Jook Joint out of the lineup just to make space for longer sets by the 3 bands w/ jammers, and still have time for open jam. My understanding is that around 1am ang cut-off ng Conspi eh.  Pero minsan nakaka-stretch ng konti (eg, begging and pleading sa irate neighbors).  Still, we need to start promptly.

Hey Jim - I already invited you in a previous post in this thread.  You are always welcome.  With Joey P already there, why not call the Mabanta brothers and cook up some hot Mexicali dishes!

Blue X'mas this friday na. 

[rakrakan]

oo nga, sana wala nang bagyo!

Blue X'mas this friday na. 

[kahel]

2 days na lang party tone na

[deltaslim]

UPDATE:

1.  Rebolusyon Rekords will be selling Blueskrieg cds at the gate.  They also plan to organize some xmas fun and games and will give out prizes.  Even cooler, they will offer this promo:

2. Free entrance for every purchase of Blueskrieg cd
... otherwise, entrance is PhP100.   

3.  I'm not sure and can't predict how many plan to bring xmas exchange gifts, but I've gotten feedback that some people are willing to bring cds as give aways or prizes. Maybe we'll just have a paripa (w/ tambiolo?!) or something to determine winners.

4.  Neither Soul Benders nor Firebottle have had the time to learn and rehearse a xmas song. I can always play Silent Night, Holy Night on slide tho.   I'm looking forward to Blue Rats' blues xmas tune -- I know they're ready!

[kahel]

count me in anong oras umpisa ng Christmas party?  joric pa jam ako sa firebottle ha

[rakrakan]

ok bukas na ito! We'll have some games. hint: Gals and boys brush up on your blues and xmas history.

Last night at the xmas party of Rebolusyon/Sound Weavers DAHON performed an energetic set then it was a jam session with deltaslim, Emi and Chester of plug, Zann and Ruben of Snakecharmer - galing, fun!

What a fun gig!

Soul Benders were tasty, tasty, tasty! Lito was smoooooth. Arie's tele was spanking through that tweed. Delta's slide was slipperrrrry...

Snakecharmer was smoking. Messyhands and Teletubby were hot.

Highlight of the evening: Milli Vanilli........... that's 3beers looking like he was lip syncing onstage with Snakecharmer on "You Can't Always Get What You Want"...... because the mic was off. 

Thanks to daddy delta for putting it together. Some guys took some video -- paki-post lang kung pwede so we can see how terrible we were....

HAHAHA!  I gotta agree on the highlight. I told TT dati na anthem na yung Dylan tune nila.  Pero anthemic din itong rendition nila ng Stones tune na to.   (*ayos ba sa save, Messyhands?*)

Coolest part for me was that we all had a lot of time to hang out, enjoy each others' music, magkulitan, alaskahan, sing-along, whatever!!! Party talaga kagabi, thanks for staying till the last bagsakan (ng Jook Jam featuring "Joe Cocker" impersonator... Butch!)

Blue Rats played their average gig -- uniformly excellent, tight, and entertaining.   

As for Soul Benders, I hear a lot of good feeback on (and demand in the future for more) pinoy rock and Eagles! . 

[Jim Ayson]

Had a good time playing drums with Joric Slim and Dr. Ted - I think we ended up playing a whole set's stuff of material though I had no idea what was playing until we actually played it! (nor did I know who I was playing with! Was that Arie on guitar?) If the Benders need a sub drummer gimme a call Delta!

[nathanmanansala]

ho hum... another fun blues gig...
































































  sana meron ulit next year....

Yeah, it ended up being Soul Benders 2nd set w/ you as the drummer. To be honest, kating kati tumugtog ang Soul Benders.  Dami pa naming pwede kantahin sana, including ung request for Maria Cafra and more pinoy and 70s rock.  Midway through "Mary Had A Little Lamb", Arie and I had this exchange (shouting through the din onstage):

Arie: Ano next?
Joric: Alin, yung after nitong verse?
Arie: Hindi, yung next na song natin?
Joric: Ano ka ba?! Mamaya na natin isipin yan!   

Pero, really, the honor was ours, Jim.  Your fills and syncopations were awesome.  Halos mapahinto ako mid-song.  At ang dali makipag-"amuyan" sa yo.  I also like your controlled discipline (jazz drummer at heart?)...  bagay sa Soul Benders --- nakasandal din kasi kami sa aming Mr. Cool drummer na si Jingle.

Anytime Soul Benders or Firebottle is gigging, you'll always be welcome to drop in and hit the skins.

i thought you were referring to "Rainy Day Women" ... haha

yeah, THAT was a PARTY!

yeah, I'm an Eagles fan right here.  thumbs up!

PS
kinda ironic, that on a blues-themed gig, ang gaganda ng mga amps ie fenders, matchless(?!!!), and vox hahaha... btw thanks to Johnny's workhorse Roland for saving the bass players' asses.

[tele-tubby]

Arie: Ano next?
Joric: Alin, yung after nitong verse?
Arie: Hindi, yung next na song natin?
Joric: Ano ka ba?! Mamaya na natin isipin yan!   

hahaha, lumalabas pagka OC ni arie!!!
