The Penang Blues Brothers rocked Upper Penang Road this afternoon with a special surprise guest - our friend Tapa was visiting and sat in on drums. Tapa is well known in Penang musical circles from the years he spent playing on the local scene, but he moved to France with his family about a year ago. What a fortuitous coincidence.

We played a single 45-minute set and it was great fun for all. I've wanted to do an electric blues band for quite a while and this was the chance. Actually it was the Penang Blues Brothers +1 Sister, since Jackie played alto on a couple of tunes. I think she's about 30 years younger than the next youngest player.
I will put up audio and/or video from the set tomorrow depending on how the recordings turn out, as soon as I can process the files.
Grand!
