Here I am singing something from the Jackson 5 :o

Our keyboard player is running for state senate here in California, and he asked us to play his "Campaign kickoff"...a friend offered up his house for the even, which I thought was a lame idea until I got there. As incredible as the house itself was, the backyard has an actual amphitheater built into the hillside. I grew up less than a quarter mile from this site and I never knew it was here...

Drummer, Bassist, me and Sax player. We augmented the band with a 3 piece horn section and another guitar just for last night, although everyone dug it so much we might explore it further...

My old neighborhood is just down the hill along the 91 freeway (you can kind of see it poking out among the trees halfway up on the right). I lived at the BOTTOM of the hill...

Guys at the bar drinking "Fat Tire" on tap...
