Trouble Keeping up!!!

First things first. Today, I bought a whole lotta charts from a guy who played these charts for years and just wanted to get rid of them because he was moving. These charts are great pieces of history and they are in perfect shape!!! I cant wait to dig into the bunch!!! Second, Im excited about playing again at the PUB this weekend with Doug Cameron and the DOUG CAMERON ORCHESTRA (BBC,LLC). I have about 6 new charts that we will have to learn in the hour before the gig on Sunday so it should be a lot of fun. In addition, Im going to try to record some of it so we can put out some demo stuff. Ill include a link to it here as well.

Got a wedding coming up April 27th with the EJS and have a new drummer and will have a brand new bass player for that gig. Always makes things interesting. I heard the UGA Jazz Ensemble one and two Thursday nite in Athens as well as the STUDO ORCHESTRA and Dave is doing a great job with that program. Good things are gonna happen!!! April 22, which is the day after the second Sunday gig this month with Doug at the PUB, Marvin Stamm is coming to play with the GPC JAzz ensemble at Dunwoody HS. We cant wait to play with him.

You tube is everywhere!!! Here is some video from Feb 14th this year.

Here are 2 videos I found today from the Valentines Concert at the Grand Theater this year.   Toni Byrd and Roberta Longacre  on a couple of tunes. Enjoy!!!

THings are moving along rapidly……..

The BBC LLC played their first gig as the band formerly known as TUS. We hired out to the owner of the TUS and played his book and charts and things went very well. I think other gigs might come from this.  DVD with the EJS and the GPC as well as the Doug Cameron Orchestra are in the works.  We start back with our regular gig at the Famous Pub in TOCO HILLS in Atlanta this Sunday. Tshirts and Merch is being printed and made ready for the gig. In addition, this Sunday is St Patricks Day and the dress rehearsal for the Mid semester concert for the GPC BIG BAND  on Monday!!  Life is good!

Things are rolling merrily along. We have a business liscence and are awaiting our EIN employment number.  Got rehearsal on Sunday and then a gig again on the 8th.

Comcast has offered their studio for a video which I hope we can do of the GPC and the EJS AND the BBC.   This summer is the date for that.

Got a wedding to play in Cave Springs on the 27th.  Full month.
