From May 6 to Now (Oct. 2)_#2

Onward. More photos.

After laying down a track for "The Tiger Club" band, I revisited Chili John's. After all, I am not in Burbank everyday.

On June 21, the Obihiro Cowboys, did a gig at the Blue Whale, in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles.

An inexpensive, but tasty Indian lunch in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles.

Looks a lot like that cap I bought in Long Beach.

These photos are from a walk around Redlands, CA, before a summertime concert by the San Bernardino Symphony.

Someone entrusted Noah Gladstone to sell this historic tuba for them. Noah let me borrow it for a few days. It is a very excellent horn in BB flat. I refuse to purchase any more tubas, but it was tempting.

Lunch with Joe Mitchell at the goat restaurant, which he had never been to. Then a walk around Chinatown.

A relative of mine moved on from this plane. Here are some shots from the funeral and the repast that followed. There was a hat worn by a woman that was so over the top that I had to take a couple of shots.

July is Obon season. I made the rounds again. These are shots from one downtown that I had not attended before. I took one of the fried Oreos home and elevated it status a little bit. 

Fried Oreo.

Pork belly dinner in Chinatown.

Fried Oreo at home.

From May 6 to Now (Oct. 2)

Okay. It has been so long since I posted that it has gotten silly. I am just going to lay in photos with very little commentary. I'm sure that is fine. It is all about the image, right? Yes, it is.

On May 8, I played in Long Beach, CA, as a guest artist with the percussion duo "Orange Peal Vibrations." "Orange Peal Vibrations," is Joseph Mitchell and Gabriel 'Slam' Nobles. "Peal" is spelled correctly. So, a walk around the pier and a couple of show shots.

A couple of guys setting up shade for the brass quintet playing at the Loyola Marymount University graduation. It was very hot. We still had to play with our jackets.

May 17, I played a concert with the Orchestre Surreal. A fun group to play with. Sometimes. This is a photo of "Miss Thang."

It is graduation season. There is one in Santa Barbara that I usually play. I go up early and walk along the beach. There are photos on this blog from the north end of the beach, these are from the south end.

Because of tragedy I have experienced in the past from trying to post a lot of photos at once, I am going to post these and start again with some of the rest.
