While Sunday evening's Mardi Gras was an incredibly hard
act to follow, Monday night's Jam Session certainly gave it a
run for its money. Richard Taylor led the "core" band on bass, with
Tom Hebenstreit on lead guitar, Ben Green playing drums, Bob
Branciforte on rhythm guitar, and Nik Johnson tickling the ivories.
Audience participation was heavy with, among many others, Mark
Bennett, Mike Hanson, Pierre Tremblay and Tom Moseley. (Apologies
to those whose names I've omitted - I was having WAY too
much fun to keep accurate records).
The group played mostly rock and roll, with occasional forays
into blues and country. The highlight of the evening came when
Bruce Barrington came forward, acoustic guitar in hand, and favored
the audience with a passable rendition of "Country Roads" followed
by "(You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me) Lucille". And then, as if
that weren't enough, he led the group in a hilarious version
of "There's a Hole In The Bottom Of The Sea". Way to jam,
Bruce.
