Next Time: Sat., 4/27, 11am-2pm, TowerLight (3601 Wooddale Ave., St. Louis Park)

Who was there this past week? Jan (trumpet), Jack (trumpet), Sam (trombone), Steve H (piano, soprano), Paul (bass), Vern (accordion), Liz (vocals), JD (bass), and Matt (vocals). Tom was also there, generously donating his time, talent, and treasure to get a set of drums assembled for Workshop use. At the moment, they are in one of the closets in the basement theater where we play.

Your scribe took the first song choice accidentally by noodling around on Early Autumn (II-xxx) until it was decided that would be our starting point. Paul wanted to work on something everyone really needs to know, turning to How High The Moon (I-180). Jan was feeling all Porterish, and went with You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To (II-xxx). Matt got to exercise his powers of choice and voice, singing L-O-V-E (III-252). Sam was ready with his call, All Of You (I-21). Liz opted to sing Beyond The Sea (II-40). Jack turned back time with Yesterdays (I-450). Liz grabbed another chance at the mic on Route 66 (I-xxx). Matt slowed things down on his choice of Angel Eyes (I-27). Paul got us all working on Wayne Shorter's El Gaucho (I-xxx). Matt got another swing with I Won't Dance (III-174). 

A number of people, including the rhythm section, had to head out, so the meeting dissolved at that point. 

Hope to see you next time!
