Elaine was messing around on the net last week and found some songs our daughter did with Chris Porcelli (Vic Porcelli’s son … Vic is on the radio here in St. Louis, MO) and Mitch Leitschuh they were messing around with some Standards. Rate the songs a five. She sounds like she is from the 1930s and 1940s not the 1990s and 2000s. :-) So I’m proud of her.

Well … I guess you should listen to his music and you will be convinced. They guy just has massive amounts of style and cool.

If you like good jazz and/or just unbelievable guitar skill you gotta check Mr. Pass out. My dad (Vince Arter, Sr.), who I consider one of a living legend in jazz and R&B (classic R&B) guitar plays a lot lot Joe Pass.

Anyway … check him out … give him a listen. This is what I aspire to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Pass

The band I am temporarily (2nd-Birth) will be the entertainment at Holy Trinity’s 160th Anniversary block party (the bass player knows someone that goes there and got us the gig). I’ve heard they do this for the city of St. Louis every year and that it is usually pretty good. This year being a big anniversary year (and with us there) it should be even better.

It is on Sunday, May 18^th from 11 AM @ 2 PM (we’ll probably start about 10:30.) For those of you that know Rich Stratmann he is in the band as well along with the bassist from the Bellville Philharmonic. We play a good mix of “interesting” music.

I don’t know why it calls us the Stratman4 in their newsletter. That’s not our name (or Rich’s by spelling) and we have 5 people (sometimes 6) not 4. I’ll have to ask Rich about that. I think they just forgot our real name but that’s us they are talking about.

So if you aren’t busy come on out and join us. Please feel free to forward to folks I forgot to include.
