Tracie P and I capped off our holiday weekend in San Diego with a drive out to La Mesa (quite-a-place-a) to the Riviera Supper Club for some excellent old-school rhythm and blues by the Fairmounts (above).
Really groovy stuff with Jon from Jaynes Gastropub on guitar… Bass player Tom and I figured out that we actually played a bunch of shows together when I was living in NYC and playing with the [CANNOT BE MENTIONED FOR LEGAL REASONS] old French band (remember them?) and he was playing with the Dansettes.
It can be painful to play the blues but I sat in on a number. SO MUCH fun to be playing music again…
Tracie P and Jayne were having some fun, too!
John Yelenosky’s birthday is tomorrow. I love that dude… so many good times and great wines opened together, so many great memories from high school… happy birthday Yele!

Wow, it’s like a California Retro theme hour. JP, the Strat’s looking great. Is Jon playing a “vintage cream” Telecaster? (I see he’s also rocking the double-breasted cardigan: very Fall’10).
You would really dig Jon’s band and the whole scene there man… I’m not sure the vintage of that tele but it sounded great through my old Deluxe…
Happy birthday yele!!
Thanks Tracie P….@ Jar. I love you too man.
