Your scribe was looking after his sick wife (and consequently got the bug himself), but Jerry was kind enough to take the minutes of the meeting.

Present were Jerry (guitar), Serdar (guitar), Owen (bass), Bill (drums), Jan (trumpet), Jack (trumpet), Carl (bass), Raphael (bass), Tom (piano), and Matt (vocals). Also Pat, a resident, visited.

Next Time: Sat. 2/15, 11am-2pm, TowerLight (3601 Wooddale Ave., St. Louis Park)

Bring your own stand. We usually work from the Real Book Vols. I-IV.

Last week's weather, among other things, kept the meeting to only a few people for about an hour. Since your scribe was not present (for several reasons), he cannot report firsthand on the goings-on, but did get at least this brief report from a participant.

Matt (vocals and recording secretary), George (trombone), Serdar (guitar), Craig (guitar), and Jan (trumpet) made it in. They played My Funny Valentine, Black Orpheus, How About You, Georgia On My Mind, Blue Monk, Black Coffee, L-O-V-E, Alice In Wonderland, and Come Dance With Me.
