Mess Around,” and a few more ditties before turning over the stage to
The Bi-Polar Express. Since it is a jam we requested that they bring on a
special guest so they got Paul Alvarado to share the stage with them. After Bi-Polar Express we quickly reset the stage for a mixed group made

lead guitar and vocals, Steve Morgan on bass and Mike Trenkle on drums
rocking some soulful tunes including a mix of ZZ top and Santana. Kris
Wott came back on stage to help them out with some harmonica to start
their set.

friend James Brown helping out on guitar, Ted Stern came back on bass,
Paul Whitaker on drums and Erik Lingren came back to sit in on guitar.
The mad guitar player Frankie T took the stage next with Fedis Gray
on bass, Edward Cleveland on drums, Joel Bolado on guitar and David
Lewis amazed us on harmonica.
Joe Bernal and friends came up next with Joel Bolado sticking around to
play back-up guitar along with guitarist David Davis, Grant Mitchell on
drums and Michael Mudd on bass.

Committee with him. His hand-picked blues mobsters, the goodfellas of
the blues,
