yeah they enjoyed it but let's see before the brass that's how we get you a story you have been part of many many brits a long story of my age yeah but more recently i got back into music five six years ago when i started to play with my son jesse and he's now in college he's twenty one he'll be twenty two soon so when i stopped you know when he was young i had my family was not much time for music but then when he got old enough to start to play i wanted to share that with him so we started to play together as i said five or six years ago and we started with the classic rock from the eighty's and with then we moved into a neil young tribute to you know neil young you know if you do everybody knows neil young so so we we still have that band together it's called ragged glory we've performed all around the window and with that sometimes just the two of us had a band name mello yello so then i joined mello yello and we still performed together which is a sixty's tribute band we play all the great stuff like jefferson airplane janis joplin and the doors and all of that and then that band is made some success we've played every year and we do a cruise with the moody blues we're going back in april to go cruise around the caribbean with that band and then the another band that came from that was a case called the retro fit so you can see the lot of these bands locally playing in clubs like the retrofit that's a more of an eighty's classic rock type band that i mean with david and then because three bands was just not enough i thought because you know it took me a long time to the store who you we're and then one day i saw it poster in a positive fly and there i found all you names and that's how i could get it going to with you that's wow this this would be perfect i like santana he's a congo player he grew up in puerto rico and he said yes i learned to play with carlos in tennis music so we thought we should do this someday and then colby was on board and he placed the keyboards and then we recruited the rest of the group tom carvey on bass jeff solsbury on the percussion and caleb bronze on the drums and there it is the breakfast band rocky and so so jeff and caleigh brungs who plays the drum kit and carlos velez those are masters at latin percussion and when they start talking about you know he's playing a samba and he's playing a salsa he's playing marang gay and they go this way and that and to me that's rocket science that says that they visit ph d level and jeff is a professor at u v m so he knows how to teach these things i want you to do me about blaine in san francisco in the foot mark shore jeff actually was playing in a band called cold blood with lydia pense they were managed by bill graham and he was in san francisco for years and they shared many bills with then caleb was a student of jeff's in college and even before college and you know caleb has a music degree and jeff was one of his teachers so it was great for them to work together again i saw jeff still trying to teach caleb band together when we were in seventh grade so we actually played some of these songs like soul sacrifice which will play maybe later and evil ways we had this band going we were kids we would play these things and jimi hendrix and rolling stones and grand funk real so it's really wonderful for colby and i do work together again and he's since that time has become a great jazz pianist i stayed with the rock'n'roll and we diverged a little bit you know he's more sophisticated yeah really really very very well right but it was a good opportunity because it incorporates the jazz as well as the rock in the latin percussion all of these musical i do play with him in a band called the retrofit i mentioned that band and so we knew we needed a good bass player tom is the first person you call i have a great solo we scanned sing a bogus and that's right that's right that's the one area where we go the drum solo carlos has a nice i think a little congress solo and it's a great song we could make a good education to santana drummer in that song you know he was one of the most influential people i was when we were preparing concert but a song called every step of the way santana recorded later maybe seventy three or seventy four is a michael shreve song very spacey jazz song very much like a miles davis sort of so yeah so so michael sh so that would be nice that they know that i was very young to have an i q of there were many musicians well santana music was very easy to be adapted to the cuban players so the only thing they have to listen to polly with a guitar thing on the keyboard fun we'll try to book some more shows and keep the band together we we've booked for next summer we booked a concert in waterbury vermont the outdoor concert series and they'll be more of those probably concerts in the park those type of
