alright folks, kinda wasn't sure if there was gonna be enough heads
to do another MidTones before we head over to Xmas wonderland,
but we'll have some of our old regulars back for this one,
AND it's our beloved Drummer/Bassist/Chef Atsuki Inoue's big 3-0!
The Tall One is to get wasted, for he claims to be able to handle so...me liquor! lol
(and I'm pretty sure it's true)
anyhoo, bring your axe, wig and dancing shoes,
LinoType will hold down the groove on the spinning wheels
and the band will rip it for Atsuki DOES NOT MESS AROUND
(get ready fa some standards, players)
and keep fucking that chicken,
SK

STOP THE PRESS!! this is also Chanda Dancy's BD BASH!!
the weather has been weird lately!! one day it's scorching hot,
and next day I can't step out of bed without my jacket,
then the wind blows away everything in sight!! hope all is well in your world,
at the last MidTones, we were attacked by the Madeleines Army!!
they ca...me en masse for the special occasion that was Traci Madeleine's BD,
but they also left me a message the following day that they plan to come back,
and suggested that I become a fan of their Facebook page...which I did,
http://www.facebook.com/MidToneMadeleine s
anyway, at next week's MidTones we'll celebrate the BD for Greg Watanabe,
a co-founder of 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors and a MidTones regular!
I'm sure Madeleines would bring cakes for the occasion,
plz lemme know if there's any other BD(s) that I should be aware of!
same time, same place

Thank you all for the kind words re: my recent accident / injury,
YES I'm fine and NO you cannot have the rest of my Vicodin...
anyway, I got thru 4 nights "on a boat" at Ceasar's last weekend,
and even tho I'm still in pain my spirit is up and ready for another adventure.
so here comes another BD edition of MidTones - thi...s time it's for the one and only
Traci Kato-Kiriyama; she might be known as one of the Madeleines
but she's more than that and I'm sure a lot of you know her in so many different ways...
come party with us on a school night like a real party people
at Grand Star Jazz Club = the Party Central in Chinatown 90012
as always, any costume/wig/instrument/freestylin' attitude is welcome,

the recordings of KUFU, the brainchild of the late great Chili Charles
are officially OUT NOW,
This was a project that I was privileged enough to be a part of since its inception.
Especially after Chili’s unexpected passing in ‘05, this became a tribute to
his talent, life and the memories we shared in a tiny house in Echo... Park,
memories which I remember vividly.
the album “Chili, This One’s For You”
includes original compositions by Chili, a few jazz standards,
and the recordings of the people from his birthplace, Trinidad, where Evan traveled twice,
plus the addition of talents such as Michael Fortunato (tp) and Michael Dubin (dr/perc)
go check it out at kufu.bandcamp.com/ – it’s a FREE DOWNLOAD!
