Yesterday,Saturday, 2/5 Sandy McCaully was remembered at the Ording Eagles. He passed on 1/21/11. There was a jam/wake, Shelly Ely called us and let us know....'A Good-bye Sandy'...I have a photo posted of Sandy McCaully, that I found on FACEBOOK by ERIC ANDERSSON. I remember him fondy...a kind, thoughtful music loving man with a gentle smile. Steve and I went to his home in Ording, Washington and jammed with him and his friends. He called Steve several times to chat music. We first met him at LIQUID SOUL COFFEE ROASTERs. 'Round 2008.

We were unable to go yesterday...no transportation. Shell called an offered to loan Steve her car. Thanks Shelly, sadly.... Steve could not get a ride to Shelly's in Spanaway to pick up her car and get out to Ording. 'We thought of you often yesterday Sandy...will always think of you with love'. Jan and Steve.

Local Live Music News Report

O.K.,...Lots of things to talk about this time in my local live music news report. First, what is local to me [Jan]. Well, for starts I thought...South Tacoma, Spanaway, Graham, Roy, McKenna, Yelm, Rainier, Tenino, Lacey, Tumwater.... etc.....I will adjust this area as time gos on to fit the great live music reported in the area that we can get to in a reasonable amount of time.

First, In Yelm, THE BLUE BOTTLE CAFE's Farewell closing party was Saturday, Oct. 23rd at 7 pm. We love MICHELLE JONES and her whole family and wish them the best in whatever they do next. From STEVE KLEIN's 'YELM COMMUNITY BLOG' we have learned that The Blue Bottle was bought by a Pizzeria. We'll watch for any updates and new news about this.
Next, CLARK's BAR AND GRILL in Yelm. Steve went by there last night...Monday, Oct. 25th, 'round 7 pm and found no one there! What? So, I called 360/458-3332 this morning...there was zero answer. I'd call CLARK's BAR AND GRILL before leaving home if I were you...I'm sure all is well and they're having a great vacation on some tropical island somewhere warm.
Next, KENNY WILLIAMSON reports that THE SHELLY ELY JAM at UNCLE SAM's BAR AND GRILL went great last Sunday night..Oct. 24th, in Spanaway. Kenny WilliamSon was drumming for DYLAN LANNY ENGLAND, who had the night off. This is always a fun jam folks, with talented musicians.

[confirming the members of this band and will post it as soon as I get this info.]. Usually, but not always, there's a $5.00 cover at Liquid Soul...but, it's well worth that to hear some really fine music. Call...360/400-soul to find out and I'll post all the information I confirm. They are located in McKenna behind BAYDOS at the McKenna 'Y'.

Karaoke with Amanda tonight, Tuesday, Oct. 26th, from WILLOUGHBY's RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE in Yelm.

O.K.,well, 'My Dirty Laundry' I've been saving this one for last because it's  difficult to talk about and about me and Steve BARTLETT ON BASS and the band WALTER's BIRTHDAY. that Steve's a member. But, it's  local music news...So, here gos.. Our trusted and very brave friend, SCOTT ERCOLIANI/drummer for WALTER's BIRTHDAY contacted me [Jan]  last week about, in his opinion, my abundance of postings about WALTER's BIRTHDAY online. I realized that he brought up some good points, that I'd never thought of. [view Emails HERE and HERE]. I HAD spent a hole lot of time posting. But, I thought that's what everyone wanted. WHOOPS. So, in my willingness to immediately comply...I deleted, blocked or erased all the posts I could find as fast as possible about WALTER's BIRTHDAY and started to cry....then waited to know what to do next. It didn't take long...in about 20 minutes. My hero, MARTIN SALINAS of Liquid Soul Coffee Roasters noticed and called  Scott Ercoliani...'was the recently booked WALTER's BIRTHDAY in Concert on Saturday, November 13th 8 pm canceled?' NO!! The gig has NOT been canceled....... just Jan's posts.  [NOTE: I have recently re-posted an edited copy of that gig's announcement online....it's gonna be fantastic. [my... 'JAN's OPINION!!]. To avoid any further confusion, I decided to post on BARTLETT ON BASS, NIGHT ROSE, FACEBOOK and ONYXX [R]  web sites and elsewhere this 'FYI..NOTICE: .. All postings are my personal opinions and observations alone.  They MAY NOT BE my husbands or they MAY NOT BE any bands or musicians that my husband may be playing with.
