It Might As Well Be Spring!

The birds were singing, the sun was shining, and due to there being three birthday parties at various times in the main room at McRae Park we met in the small classroom. We jammed three drummers, two bassists (one of them also playing trumpet), a sax player, a trumpeter, a saxophonist, a pianist (also playing clarinet), two guitarists, a percussionist and three vocalists into the room. There were a couple other folks who dropped in to listen, too.

We covered a bunch of tunes, including "Corcovado/Quiet Nights," "The Bunny Hop," "St. Thomas," "I'll Remember April," "Fools Rush In," "Gentle Rain," "What Is This Thing Called Love?" and probably half-a-dozen other tunes that my aging brain has forgotten.

Annie Favors announced that on April 4, the Workshop will be performing for the "Bunny Brunch" from 9:00AM-12:00PM. This is an annual event at the park and the Workshop usually provides the music, emphasizing "springy" tunes. The workshop will not happen at the usual time on April 4. The set list will be finalized next Saturday. Only regular attendees will play on April 4 (bringing in somebody new at the last minute before a performance tends to create problems).

Sam Fiske announced that next week there will be an "instrumental hour" between noon and 1:00 PM, and then the workshop will start at 1:00 and run to 4:00 as usual.

I was so busy playing that I forgot to take any pictures!
