Lamar State College Fundraiser 4/14/12




I played piano tonight with Rob Roy Parnell (harmonica), Chris Wallis (drums), Ralph "Coffeeboy" Ibarra (guitar), Pat Whitefield (bass), Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff (sax) and Al Gomez (trumpet) in Orange, TX for a fundraiser event for Lamar State College. We had a great turnout, and the crowd went crazy for Rob's music. They also were big Jimmy Reed fans, so we played a few of his tunes tonight as well. Towards the end of the evening, things got weird as a chorus of frogs joined in the music. We were under a big tent, and the frogs gained volume as we rounded out our final few tunes. Fun night performing with the big band!
