We've been asked to do a benefit dinner concert for Voices For Children on May 3rd. We've played for them before, and they asked us back! I can't believe it! This time I'm thinking of doing an all-Beatles concert with acoustic and jazz guitars...
See you soon!

Varsity Strings at the Spring Forward Festival
Clando Brownlee from the Brotherhood Lion's Club asked us to play a big set of classic rock for their Spring Forward Festival. This was a community festival on a nice spring Sunday, to suppport green technologies in California. Music, fun and hot dog eating contests, which I'll talk about later...
First, our Sunday 8:00am garage practice. The neighbors love it when we do this...
Stop it you guys!
We played in a big old railway station ticket house. It was really cool:
The band!
Me, Max. I'm still waking up here; last night was our Senior Year ASB Ball so it's been a pretty busy weekend so far.
Curly Max:
Alfonso - we coulldn't belive the sounds he was getting out of this little 2-drum set:
And Mr. Jake, who sang like a wild man at 12:00 noon on a Sunday. He's been playing baseball a lot (starting pitcher) so this was a big change from what he usually does.
See? GO JAKE!
Always On The Run:
Max checks the equipment...
Teaming up for Brown Eyed Girl.
One mic!
Jake says goodbye for now! Do his ears hurt?!?!?!
The After-Interview:
Here's our song list:
Johnny B. Goode
Jumpin’ Jack Flash
Bossa Dorado
Paint it Black
Brown Eyed Girl
Always on the Run
All Along the Watchtower
Crossroads
House of the Rising Sun
Red River Blues
Jake's Song
Little Wing
Wipeout
Molasses River Blues

Brotherhood Lions Club Presidents Day BBQ
Clando asked me to play at the President's Day weekend BBQ they were hosting. In case you don't know, Clando Brownlee Jr. is the President of Southern California's first all African-American managed Lion's Club. They try to do as many public events as possible, and he usually asks us to play at them.
It's time to haul out the guitar and play some tunes!
Clando gets the BIG smoker running -
What a PRO! . . .
George Pallinard, who put together the whole event -
And Joseph Nedan who originally chartered the Brotherhood Lion's Club, he's a 35 year navy man and a paramedic -
The crowd shows up -

This is my 1974 Washburn, it plays great!
