Kick-Ass Brass!!

Hello, Tengoophiles! Avi here!
After a week of Hawaii`s magic, I have been feeling extra stimulated and chomping on the bit to get back on stage. Unfortunately, with Jon now living in the big city,we are having a little trouble scheduling things.anyway, we were back last night, with a bang, though Jon was under the weather in a very bad way, regurgitating his fish and chips between the 2nd and 3rd sets and necessitating an early cessation of the evenings festivities.
Showing his KONJO (fighting spirit), he did a great job of drumming and singing despite his flu.
I would have to say that the high point of the evening was when Dr. Sax, Dr. sax, Kawakami Ryutaro showed up with his sax and joind kenya to make up a FORMIDABLE brass section! Ryutaro stayed on for one set, playing Running, Stranger, Bailar, and Vonja Vonja. The crowd showed its appreciation,howling, and whistling.
Thanks Ryutaro!
It was great to see lots of friends come out and we also made lots of fresh acquaintance.
We will be back soon with some polished up new material and begin rehearsals for our trip to Adelaide!
Good bye all!
