TIM CURTIN & FRIENDS SPECIAL JAM SEPTEMBER 3, 2009
On many of the nights I've performed at Paddy Doherty's Ale House in the Bronx this year ,a number of musicians have shown up and played with me to the great enjoyment of our audience. Sometimes people who were scheduled to come have had to cancel , and sometimes other friends show up unexpectedly which is usually a nice surprise ! Well, on this particular night EVERYBODY showed up, and then some ! We had 18 musicians and singers play that night, and there were still many in the audience who declined to play because they were having such a good time listening to everyone else. There was a complete reunion of a band who hadn't played together in over twenty years, along with people who'd never played before with each other. There were two common factors : All these musicians called the Bronx home at some time in their lives, and all these musicians are my friends. I thank all of them for playing as well as all of you that came out to enjoy an evening of live music. Fortunately we had a recorder going so you can hear what happened for yourself ! Enjoy ! - Tim
