The Sons of Pitches band from Chambersburg PA. This was the first time I'd ever seen the band and only ever heard **OF** them several hours earlier.
I went to the tavern hoping I might be able to get a handle on the digital P.A. system so I could run it for my friends in Mountain Ride who were playing the at same place the following night.
Well, the learning-the-P.A. part didn't work out, but I discovered a band that is right in my musical wheelhouse. Looking forward to seeing them again before too long.
Jammy, groovy, cowboy jazz recorded Friday evening 1 December 2017 at Burning Bridge Tavern in Wrightsville PA.
I have to apologize for the shaky camera work. I had NO idea that the “ World's Cheapest Android Phone®™ ” would actually be able to capture A/V this well, especially under less-than-optimal conditions. The audio is what surprised me the most...very clean...they were at the perfect volume for the cheesy phone-mic, I guess.
Songs are:
“Afro Blue” by Mongo Santamaria; and “St. Thomas” by Sonny Rollins.
Band members are:
Spencer Pheil - guitar
Dave Hadley - pedal steel
Tommy Hoy - bass
Jim Aguzzi - drums
