Caffe Med. on Telegraph Ave. (9/30 & 10/7/2012)

<>Stork Club Oakland<>

I am so busy for my school, gigs & day job, so I can't write this post. But I try to write new post today.
BUT I don't remember what did I do for a while......lol. Rabia & I had a gig at Stork Club Oakland yesterday (10/6). We love the Stork Club because the place was so good to us. We got one more gig at Stork Club, so we are very happy. And yesterday morning, we had another gig for Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco,CA for volunteer, that was great experience.

(10/6) Yesterday, Rabia & I took photos of "freelance human(S)" and REV. RABIA with the guitarist from Hanzo the Razor promotion photos in San Francisco & Oakland.




This morning (10/7), we had a gig at CAFFE MED. There was FULL HOUSE......yeahhhhhh !

Rabia is reading a lot of Shakespeare for her school homework. So of late, she speaketh with a strange tongue. (ha, ha)

Caffe Med. on Telegraph Ave. (9/16 & 23/2012)

GREAT TIME !

I'm so busy these days......
9/17 on Monday, Rabia & I went to Lake County,CA to attend MIKE WILHELM & HIRED GUNS Show. The night, Rabia and Paul McCandeless, who is a 3 timeGrammy winner Jazz player, jam with Mike & Hired Guns. That was such a fantastic night and I enjoyed and took photos of the show. The venue is BLUE WING SALOON which has great space & food.

Yesterday, Saturday we had two gigs ; one was EL CERRITO PLAZA FARMER'S MARKET. Many children were there, and they enjoyed our music. So we were very happy. One more was at Caffe Med. Then a few cute & sexy girls took photos of me when I was playing solo guitar. I was happy with them ! .........hahaha hehehe....hahaha.

And this morning, 9/23, we played at Caffe Med. again. Also many young guys included sexy girls again came to there. We enjoyed and they enjoyed our music. I love young people energy very much. Today, I played slide guitar it's very crazy noise sound but I love it !

Caffe Med. on Telegraph Ave. (9/9/2012)

FIRST JAM SESSION SINCE 1979

Since starting school, I am so busy  studying & playing gigs. 9/7/2012, I had a Jam Session,my first since 1979 with my classmates of San Francisco State University. They are much younger than me, but they are so great musicians. Young energy is very good for me.

Last night & this morning, Rabia & I had gigs. My playing guitar is different before because I got great ideas from my classmates. Some Caffe Med. audiences told me the guitar sound is great ! So I'm so happy ! Thank you Thank you Thank you !

WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT CAFFE MED. !

Rabia & I took a vacation at Mike and Ana Maria Wilhelm's house on 8/18-19/2012.
We were relaxing and enjoy talking with them. Also we recorded 4 songs for promotion Demo. IT's Mike Wilhelm produced and mixed. We studied and leaned how to make a good sound recording from Mike Wilhelm.

Last night, we played at Caffe Med. We started to playing music & 10min later, it so strange sound came. Fucking young guys turned on radio......it's sooo fuckin' stupid show & too FUCKING LOUD !
So I stopped to playing guitar and Rabia stopped. We were waiting for 15min.....so it's fuckin' 15min. Fucking boys played loud fuckin' radio show. I'm still fuckin' angry at them. They might be fuckin' UC Berkeley students !......... FUCK !!! I couldn't stand the night ! ...... FUCK ! I don't say FUCK words but .....this time I would use this words.......FUCK YOU !!!

This morning, we played at Caffe Med. was so good with regular audiences !
