March 9,. 2024

A happenin' group, including two newcomers, graced the Workshop this time. Present were Jan (trumpet), Matt (vocals), Gary (mandolin), Paul (bass), Victoria (vocals), Lee (bass), Jack (trumpet), Mark (piano), John (trombone), Serdar (piano), and Steve H (piano, soprano).

Your scribe was on the keys for only a couple of tunes before finding out there was another (real) paino player in attendance, and was happy to turn it over in favor of playing sax. We began with Jan's choice, You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To (II-436), followed by Matt's first pick of the day, Sentimental Journey (II-343). Mark took over the piano, and we turned to John's option, September Song (II-344). Victoria got her first chance at the mic, calling I Can't Give You Anything But Love (III-xxx). Serdar got the next pick, going to Autumn Leaves (I-39). Matt's next song was L-O-V-E (III-xxx). Mark took a straight up solo, and followed it with an accompanied vocal on All Of Me (I-20). Paul got a opportunity, opting for The Girl From Ipanema (I-xxx). Victoria took another, turning to Take The A-Train (I-398). Jack got his chance with I Thought About You (II-180).

Your scribe had to pick up stakes at this juncture, but things were still in full swing at the time.

Hope to see you next time.
