Evolution

Here's a picture of Steve Whitman, the bassist from Los ABC and The Hounds, holding his new Lakland Jazz Bass in his right hand and my slightly older Fender in his left. That Lakland is a sweet bass. I think Steve owns about 20 or 30 of them.

Derek and Bernice's wedding

Our friends Derek and Bernice got married, and the P.Tails palyed at the reception. The best part of the night (for me anyway) was when Derek and his friends took the stage for a set of smoking rock and roll. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Leyba!

Friday at Brian's

Kerry Cooper will be filling in for Jon at Brian's this Friday. Kerry, aka Hank, has been a jamming buddy of the P.Tails for many years, he even played in our jinxed country band, The Sons. He usually drives something weird to the gig.

The music starts at 9:30, see you there!

Blues Brothers

It's rare when brothers Angel and Mark share the stage. Hearing the Gonzales brothers play together was just one of the many musical treats served up at last night's jam session.
