Today, I filled in some keys with the band Gumbo YaYa in Austin, TX, for a fundraiser benefiting Pop Up Birthday (bringing birthday experiences to foster kids who might not otherwise get celebrated). I performed with the talented musicians; Paul Hollis (guitar), Geno Gottschall (bass, tuba), Kenny Felton (drums), and Paul (P.K) Klemperer (sax). We played a bunch of my favorite New Orleans tunes, and I learned a few more for this gig I’d never tried. We ate some crawfish and tried to stay cool on an upper 80s day. It was a good show, and maybe I’ll get a chance to work with the fellas again in the future.
