Welcome our newest RJBer, John Monfore pickin' the pinano! John's been playing since he was knee-high to a snake's belly, & the guys don't hold it against him a bit. Thanks to Duncan for pioneering a ragtime sound into the Rowdy soundtrack, providing a model for John to emulate & expound upon. (Think I hurt myself with all those $20 words.)
While not a front-and-center soloist, John provides a depth and mood for the band that enhances the overall sound. You may not always hear the 'boards above the row onstage, but you'll sure notice when Ken trips over John's cord & blacks out the organ. We just love slapstick...
Next gig, hunt John down & make sure he has his coffee cup in hand. He's pretty much a teetotaler, & makes a very cheap date when he does imbibe. Anyway, he sounds much better on caffeine. And keys. Just don't give him a microphone...lovesick moose make lousy bar patrons, especially in Arizona.
Didn't know they had moose in southern Arizona. Must be meadow moose; they are recluse!
ReplyDeleteJohn sounds like a soloist to me!
"Pinano"? Are YOU talking Mexican to ME?
ReplyDeleteThat's a city slicker wearing a cowboy hat! Shoot, check his boots- I bet they've never seen the broad side of a cow pie!
ReplyDeleteLooks like he was dropped on his head too many times...Oh yeah, he's a piano player. That explains it.
ReplyDeleteHe MUST be a great player- he sure wasn't hired for his looks!
