37.5 °C -Saturday Night Fever

Jam Session

Its more then a year since we had any gathering at home. Adriel and Vina with their little girl were staying over till their new apartment is ready to move in. I offered Adriel our home as venue for his usual get-together with his mates. Adriel was very obliging. Didn’t have to twist his arm at all. A Saturday evening was picked, pizza was the chosen food, a few varieties of craft beer was ordered, and hopefully, that will get them into the mood for a ‘jam session’.

Shaun & Charmaine came with his favorite guitar. Jasper and Yating came carrying the craft beers. (Jasper’s cajon was brought here a day earlier.) Adriel already have 3 guitars and a ukelele here.

Its nice to have people chatting and socialising at home again. Almost forgot what’s its like.

Fed, and savouring the unusual but wonderfully crafted brew; Coffee Stout, Pabst, Kona Big Wave & Lost Coast Peanut Butter Choco Milk Stout. What a treat! And they gave a nice, mellow buzz, too. Then its time for some acoustic. The boys gathered around the coffee table with their instruments. Jasper position himself on the cajon tapping and warming up, his role defined, while Shaun & Adriel fine-tune their guitars and adjusted the volume on the amp. The others just sat or lounge wherever. They opened beautifully with “Chloe”, a song they wrote/composed years ago. Sweet! By the way, their bassist couldn’t make it here tonight. Collectively, they perform as Supernova.

And little Lara made a cameo before turning in. She likes music, like mum & dad. Seen here grooving beside daddy playing Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind. see video https://youtu.be/hHtrpv1IAZA

There was also some horsing around with a song in Mandarin and an ACDC high-pitch high-strung number.

Was a good night. Took away the stress we were all facing in recent times. Thanks to Adriel for the pizza and beers and your mates for their company and the music. Hope we can do this again.
