Bachar Celebration
-
Before the finale of ST, aldude posted an event scheduled for June 21, 6-9 pm, just north of Bishop, CA. It will be a jam fest/potluck at Mill Creek, 150 Mill Creek Road. It will be a treat to see all you that can come and honor our friend and climbing pioneer. Jezzz, that makes Bachar/us sound old.

I have too much to do at the ranch, but John was a friend and I'll be there in spirit.
'09 was a really tough one. I lost ten friends in four and a half months.

I am loathe to cross post cuz that is just ... lame... but gonna make an exception on this one and repost something from the What are song are you listening to thread, as these forums are new and folks unfamiliar with the new and improved user experience may have missed it.
Not jazz but we're queuing the Blues today in honor of Dr. John's passing.
Title: 1 B.B. King - Playin' with My Friends (with Robert Cray) (Blues Summit)
I'm gonna call up some of my buddies
And a few of the ladies I know
I'm gonna rent a hall and get them all and
Put on a heck of a showMake sure we got a kitchen
With a oven and a stove
We'll all get in there cookin'
Then we'll throw open all the doorsPlayin' with my friends
Playin' with my friends
Playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time
Playin' with my friendsI'm gonna buy a 100 pounds of catfish
Cook it all up on the grill
Fix some beans and corn bread
Everybody's gonna get their fillThen we'll grab all the guitars
Greasy hands and all
Someone'll count off a shuffle
And man we'll have a ballPlayin' with my friends
Playin' with my friends
Playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time
Playin' with my friendsYes, we gonna buy some of that red, red wine
The best that money can buy
You gotta drink it all from a paper cup
That this here Saturday life is rightEverybody's gonna stand up
Play their favorite tune
You can pick any tune you want to
As long as it's the bluesPlayin' with my friends

@toby Hey, thanks so very!!!
-
@MisterE You are fantastic! I haven't replied because at this point I don't know what I'm doing. Right now I'm in Gardnerville, NV (base of Tahoe) and I'm unsure how long I will stay. May just go from here to Bishop......"route is unclear".
Do you feel comfortable leaving your phone/text number on my email? lrl-glue@prodigy.net?

@LynneLeicht Bachar loved Coltrane.
-
Only Coltrane I have is "Blue Train" and ...... there's no cool verbiage to quote.
-
Hi Lynne! Where ya been?
Happy Friday!!!
-
Looking forward to this get-together. No better way to honor our fallen brother than with music making, good eats and drinks and maybe a smoke or two as bitd we shared a few smokes both brown and green. Just sayin.
-
@L-Aura Tra I am out and around in the Eastern Sierra and Carson Valley near Tahoe. It's fantastic still snow on the peaks. Hope to see many of you at the Bachar Gig!
-
@LynneLeicht Hope many of you will show! I'm bringing homemade beef enchiladas and pineapple up side down cake.

@LynneLeicht Erik, thanks again for your generous offer. I have stayed in Carson Valley with family. See you tomorrow with a little sage. Cheers, Lynne.
-
@LynneLeicht The event was great! I think there was about 75 people that showed. We had two bands, dancing and lots of great company and yummy food. Temperatures were perfect. I just got home from the East Side. After I unpack I'll load pictures.

Sorry we couldn't make it, Lynne! Got back late from a day way up Pratt's Crack Canyon at Oser Wall.
Ran into Andy and Nita today at Manor market - they said you had to leave early for a family emergency. Hope everything is well!
-
@MisterE Had to leave a day early as my Mom (92) needed help. Missed you guys. I will mail you the sage. Cheers!
