THE QUARTET

How just a "regular" Thursday turned into a "great" one when we got the following e-mail from Sue:

"Hi guys!
I didn't write sooner because I didn't know if we were going to sound good until last night. Manuel Molina and I have put together a quartet again and will be playing this evening at the restaurant listed below. Plush is apparently a Caribbean restaurant and I was told very affordable. Anyway, with this short notice I most likely won't see any of your friendly faces, but thought it was worth the effort to invite you. I think we're going to sound pretty good. We will be performing all kinds of Latin flavored music (Bossa Novas, Boleros, Peruvian Waltzes, Folkloric Music, Organic Salsas and Rumbas Flamencas, and more...). First set we were asked to make mellow and second set can get more festive.

We play from 6:30- 9, I was told, which most likely means 6:30-7:30, then 8:00-9:00 The line up is: Manuel Molina (Guitar/Vocals), JD Maniscalco (Drums), Meme Gascon (Bass/Vocals) and me, Suzanne Morales (Guitar/Vocals). If it works out for you then maybe I'll see you. The restaurant is in Cherry Creek. We're hoping to develop another Chianti's, an experience in the past that we hold dear to our hearts.

Love you all! No pressure.

Sue that was awesome! We really enjoyed the show. Man - I need to work on my dancing face!

Sue - do you remember that tall guy that is your friend that sticks his tongue out and moves his mouth when he dances? Apparently I do the same thing (look at the photos!) Why didn't anybody tell me!

M'hijito,

Your Dance faces ARE better now, much more subdued. You used to dance with your lips making this big "O" ......that some times turned into an oval / elliptical kind of mouth. SO, you are making progress Joey.

The face lift looks great! I didn't see a weird face...
