All 3 are something for us to aspire too. I can do great faces, but I can't do great playing :D

I really liked him until he got popular.... then 26 years later, JB started liking him so I knew ditching him was the right thing to do. I'll start liking him again next month when JB has moved onto Marilyn Manson.




But to be fair, he's awesome at what he does.

Funnily enough around 26 years ago was when I got into Marilyn Manson...

Man turns up to a Jazz gig with an Eric Johnson Strat and a Marshall .......

Holy Moly Mr Mendoza, you have the fingers! That was a masterclass in dynamics, taste and enthralling soloing.
And tone to die for.

Respect and thank you. :clap: :clap: :clap:


I should add that Ben Fernandez is a wonderful piano player and there's no slouches in his band either.

Really enjoyed that.

Good to se y'all there Slowy. Yeah Ben is always a gracious host and his rhythm section (Ron Samsom & Jo Shum) are the shiz.
Love playing with them, hopefully won't be too long before the next time.
