Okay, this photo is not from last night, but it is representative of three of the players in the Bill Welch Band--Bill Welch on the left, Bill Tiberio on the right and Gene Rogalski, center. I don't have a photo of Fred Welch or Mike Keefe--I'll get one next time. This is a band that, as I've said before, just keeps getting better and better. They played to a packed house for over two and a half hours without a break last night, and each tune was better than the one before. I love these guys and think they are one of the best bands in Rochester.
And this morning, very early, Bill Welch was performing more beautiful music at our church. Once a month he has a little group that provides the music for the 7:30am Mass. There's about eight of us or so, men and women, usually; but this month, it was "Guy Sunday" and the boys rocked the house with some beautiful harmonies and bluegrass a la O Brother Where Art Thou. Paul Harris, Paul Sanderson, Rich Russell, Chip Milligan, Dan Gilmartin and newcomer Mike Curry joined him. It was lovely.
That's all for now.
yours in music,
Tracy
