Memorial Show for Jim McDonald
« on: November 05, 2004, 02:28:23 am »
I wanted to send out an invitation to anyone and everyone to attend the Memorial Show for Jim McDonald, who passed away suddenly on Halloween.  Some of you knew him, and some didn\'t.  But he was a conga player who frequently jammed with several local musicians, including Tim and myself.

The event is being held Monday, November 8th at BAR; 254 Crown Street, New Haven at 8 pm.  It will be held in the back room, there is NO cover charge to get in.  The evening will feature the following musicians:

Rick Landino
Kelly Kancyr & her Band
Jim Harper
Sean Miller
Brother Diggs
Ian Schumacher
Beth Patella
Fred Di Leone
Murder Van

It should prove to be celebration of a man who brought a smile to the face of everyone he knew.   He was a friend to me, and he always made me laugh.  I encourage all to come by.  

Peace
After speaking with you, I\'ve realized how much dumber I\'ve become.

He played with the breakfast the first couple times I saw the band in 1999 so I thought he was part of the band for a month or two.  I remember him as being a very friendly and energetic guy.

I helped run that open mic w/Rick at 50 Fitch Street Pub.  That was where Jim made his name so-to-speak...

I dont know if the Grip works on Mondays....

She was there when Seanie, Robyn, and Erica went there on Friday after BAR.  When I walked in with Robyn and Erica, she was like, "oh my, you are with girls tonight"......
