Nong Marlon has a lot of great products. Justin of Tres is one of those I forgot to mention. I'm sure there are a dozen others.

Yes sir, he is George's brother, who himself is a great musician.

Tata who sir? Huo sa Talisay ko nag dako pero nag saylo na kami sa Bacolod so kada bakasyon ko da, sa Bacolod ko ga puli. Bale, born in Himamaylan, baby years in Binalbagan, toddler to kindergarten in Bacolod, elementary to college in Talisay, and now sa Bacolod naman liwat, although our house in Talisay is still there.

I played a gigs before sa Draft, when it was renamed Liquid, with my old band Willie and the Cameltoes with William Kramer on vocals, back in 2006. He now plays for these 2 bands (I will edit when i remember the name) one with Pio Seva and Daniel Decena, 2 great guitarists themselves, and the other band with Paul Montenegro. Last time I played a gig in Bacolod was during this year's Masskara at the Masqueriot in Breihz. I played with Six the North Star on turntables, Rjay Javier on guitars and Nat Castillo on drums, plus a laptop/sampler for Bass and we were all pretty wasted during that set. Haha

Lets have a get together/drinking session/jam during the holidays since most of us will be home.

Great tracks sir! I'm listening to your material now in the office. hehe! I miss the forum, and now that I have tons of idle time in the office, I guess I will be a regular again.

Nong Marlon is a monster!!..I remember jamming with him with a "steve morse & vinnie moore" style way back in 2002 @ dennis' house at talisay..Dennis is a good player too,he's a seaman(i forgot his surname)..hehehe..It's true,Bacolod has a lot of guitar idols,Ace Cepeda,Epoy Banaag,Peter Vinco,Ralph Mendoza & the late Eddie Vargas are demons!!..You also Sir Beth!..These guys opened my eyes to guitar...If you happen to visit Perfect Pitch there's a guy named Miro Mediodia,he's one hell of a guitarist!..

Peter Vinco and I talked a lot last time,they are planning to organize a Guitar Event maybe this March 2011..I will be coming home,if I can't perform,I'll just watch those amazing Negroes' performance.. ..And one more thing,Jonali is not just a speedy monster,he's also a great luthier..My first "serious" guitar was made by him,a jem copy neck(with very detailed vine inlays) and i had a guitar,a Star brand,maybe sta mesa made,there he connected the neck he made for me,he also routed the body in order to accommodate the floyd..very nice workmanship and a very nice teacher too.I remember 2 or 3 guitar sessions/lessons from him which i really treasured.. ..

Let's all pray that the event will materialize and let us celebrate & share the talent the Mighty Lord gave us..

Hoping to jam with you guys!!..

Hopefully that will push through sir. December or March will be great. I hope it happens on December, because I'm not sure if I'll be home March. If it materializes, I'll be on the sidelines taking photos and videos, drinking away and appreciating the greatness.

Yes I heard Jonali's a good luthier who customizes guitars. Do you mind posting photos of his work and your gear sir? Matter of fact, why don't we share photos of the babies we treasure?

[christer]

Idle time in the office, nothing much to do here. I'll start the group sharing.

Heres my last setup during the Masqueriot gig during my vacation last Masskara. This was my first time playing again in Bacolod after almost 2 years.

My old pedal board and my beat up 10 year old Squier Strat. These are some of the gear I left behind in Negros before moving to Manila.


My current lover which resides with me here in Manila, my 6 year old Epiphone Les Paul


Will post pics of my pedalboard as soon as it is completed.

 

[diaboliche]

Besides the guitarists, we have a great share of excellent musicians. I grew up idolizing Paulo Lindaya (Wicked Tarsiers) on Bass, Kim Evaristo on guitars, whom I forgot to mention earlier, Drummers Karlo Evaristo, Sid Collantes, and Jun Jun Montelibano, the Borbajo Brothers and the rest of Gadfly and a hundred other names.

Of course our common problem is the limited venues to play in and the lack of domestic exposure. In my honest opinion our music should be accounted for and discovered because we have bands and musicians who can excel in the national scene.

          You forgot to mention Mako Salvador. Nomar Tortosa aslo was the drummer of their band with Dennis Calimoso on vocals. I remember the days. Btw Kim is also a forumite here.

Of course them! Last time I saw them play together was at a gig in KGB, Christmas break 2008. I havent seen Kim in a long time, last time I was with him, we played poker with his brothers Karlo and Kokoy early 2009. He should be addressed as Doctor Evaristo nowadays. Hehe!

[FusionDaryl]

GOOD MORNING!!!.... ...

[christer]

Mayung aga mig!

[nancy brew]

Good Morning Negers (TM, copyrighted kay Bri  )

@XTR: That Epi's cool. Tahum!

Wow. I've just read the updates and its great to know that by word of mouth alone, everybody knows everyone. Its a good start. I've read that the Hives know rock history from A-Z even if they're from Sweden.

Speaking of the Masqueriot gig, any details on RJay's new guitar? Was it a hollowbody?

I do not have any idea on the recent plans of a guitarfest, and have not hooked up with Nonoy Peter for a while. But that would be a good one.

The lack of venues in Negros may be viewed as an opportunity for us though - almost everyone can get recorded nowadays. We can create a sub label under the instrumental category and get stuff going around online with the help of Bong Tan's SSS records.

Jonali was definitely a major influence in my playing. He was in the same band with my sister in the early 90s.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PUBLIC SERVICE: Basi may mag baligya da Strat nga US (black, white pickguard) please send info through CP or this forum. 'Oca' Moises' (Marlon's bandmate who plays the fiddle)  studio was looted recently dala ang gitara with case.

Have a safe weekend folks.

[christer]

Thanks! The epi's been with me for a while now and weve been through a lot.

Rjay's guitar is an Ibanez hollow body. I forgot the exact model. It just oozes jazz.

BTW, do you have Nong Marlon's number? Also, when's the deadline for the SSS compilation? Ive been working with a couple of songs that I might submit but I only get to work on them once in a while so the progress is quite slow.

[nancy brew]

Mayong aga mga abyan

I thought my post made it, but wala gale hehehe.

@XTR: I'll PM you Marlon's number.

RE: SSS compilation deadline - I just emailed Bong, will post the updates should anybody be interested in joining.

Weeks before Christmas, and all I want for Christmas is ______________________

Sir Alan, Most Welcome.   

Adopted Negrense ka na ha hehehe, pero pag nakauwi ka, sana naman pwedeng mag padala ng kapeng barako ano? Hehehehe.

RE: SATIN RHYTHMS Sonny Boy Quilisadio on guitars is one great player too. He was with the original AIRE band, (circa 80s - 90s yata with Gerry Grey, the late Monrique Lizares, and Jojo Bonnin on drums, if I'm not mistaken).

Bimbo Demerin is a trumpet player too, we've been together in marching bands way back.

[raggz00]

salamat sa pag-welcome sir.

yes sir nagmigrate nako sa bacolod. kaya yun anak ko eh kung tawagin bacoguena (bacoluena-batanguena)hehehe

nagustuhan ko negros sir very accommodating sa lahat ng bagay.  bukod sa masasarap ang pagkain eh mura pa lalo na sa manukan country at old palapala sus sira ang diet ko na nman.  tapos inuman na sasabayan ng jazzmusic . before sir nag-inuman kami nila sir sonny, bimbo at marlon sa bahay tugtog sila dun habang inom hehehe tigil yun mga trysikel dun sumabay sa inuman namin dun sila sa may tindahan habang nakikinig tugtugan.sige sir dalhan ko kayo kapeng barako pero right now eh dito pa ako sa barko seaman kasi.
 
galing din talaga maggitara si sir ernesto, kahit si sir bimbo yun bahista galing din pero alam ko sir yun kapatid ni sir bimbo eh andito sa germany tugtog din ng sax.  pero ang matindi rin sir eh si sir nancy brew hehehehe kita ko clip mo sa youtube MALUPET hehehe.

pag-uwi ko sir kitakits tayo para maka-inuman naman at makita mo rin gear/axe ko then higit sa lahat eh makapag-paturo na rin. Di pa ko marunong maggitara sir kahiya man sabihin hehehe. nagkokoleksyon lang ako ng gitara. salamat ulit sa pag-welcome sir.

[nancy brew]

Sir Alan.

Thanks for the compliment. Anong liner ka ba sir?

Bacoguena sounds nice ha ha ha! 'Yung jazz, as far as I can remember has been staple in the ears of the Negrense. For one reason, a lot of great musicians have come from the local scene. m

Bobby Enriquez, the Saysons, Gabe Ascalon, Nonoy Jalandoni, Dwight Gaston, and a whole lot more great and humble musicians to name a few ay galing Negros. 

As for the food hehehehee, I have to say the same with Batangas cooking. Sarap din!

[christer]

Welcome Sir Allan!

Boys and girls, can you share your music and other related media? I think this would help in getting to know each other through our artistic output. (Plus it would make the day go by faster in the office when we are all bored)

Kindly share your music streaming sites/links, photography output pages, and such. 

[yearling]

@ Christer - ari pre, share ko stuff namun,
