Fun day rehearsing with the Vintage Keys Ensemble

Today was lot of fun because of a nice rehearsal with Jim Connerley's Vintage Keys Ensemble with John Zappa, Bill Jackson and Tony Franklin. We are getting ready for our gig at the Blue Wisp next Friday January 12th. We worked on songs like Joe Henderson's Carribean Fire Dance, Woody Shaw's Katrina Ballerina, Freddie Hubbard's The Intrepid Fox, etc. There's nothing like play great music with people that you enjoy being around. These guys are good friends and great musicians. There was no drama, just a solid rehearsal. I have had my fair share of rehearsals that have tested my patience. We got a lot accomplished with way too much fun.

The rest of my day was nice. Had a good workout at the gym with Vanessa (my wife). Got home and made my famous Chicken Noodle Soup in a new cast iron dutch oven that was a gift from my parents for Christmas. And also baked a few dozen blueberry coffee cake muffins. Now I going to sit back and listen to some music and catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's
Good night.
