Reb Blake music update: Last night, Monday the 24th, I played in the open mike house band at the 19 Broadway night club in Fairfax, California. The band was Bruce Brymer on drums, Mark Milan of the Electric Prunes on shredding guitar and me, your humble correspondent. Mark, who is a studio musician in Las Angles, was in town for the 40th anniversary of his Redwood High school graduation. We backed up ten or twelve acts that covered a wide swath of musical genres. It was a blast. The music was great as we had no idea what the other musicians and singers would perform. Ron Woods caklled it jumping off the cliff; laughing.
We are going to do this type of show again utilizing some local monster guitar players instead of Mark who has to return to LA. Will keep you advised. This kind of sideman playing continues what I have been doing all summer: sitting in with great local bands like Michael Sklar’s band the Hip Shakers on Frenchman Street in the Quarter in New Orleans and singing for friends in Chicago.
