Bring your own stand and chair!
Football camp was concluding behind McRae this past week. After some delay, the Park People suggested that we set up at the front doorway, which turned out to be much better shaded than the back, and has a working outlet! By the time noon rolled around, we had Steve (soprano), Carl (trombone), Wes (tenor), and Sam (trombone, trumpet). We were then happily surprised by newcomer Chris on guitar, so we had the enough rhythm for a successful gathering.
Sam got us going with Work Song (III-429). Wes kept us swinging with Doxy (II-111). Carl returned us to the blues with Tenor Madness (II-390). Your scribe opted for a not-too-slow These Foolish Things (II-392). Killer Joe (II-229) was Sam's next choice. Chris picked a not-too-fast Now's The Time (II-293). Wes passed to Carl, who went with In A Mellow Tone (I-206). Back to Wes, we played an old favorite, Groovin' High (I-66). Yours truly found a favorite of his own, Have You Met Miss Jones (I-xxx). We wrapped things up back with Sam and Take The A Train (I-398).
Hope to see you this weekend! If it looks like there is an event out back, check the front door...
