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
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.
he was never a part of th eband but i certainly do recall him playing with the band on several occasions...ill see ya there jedi!
OH my god!!!!
Jim was a great person! I used to play with him at rick landino\'s open mic all the time! I havent seen any of those guys in over two years. Definetly will be there!
Jim played congo with the band at one of the butterfield shows.

I helped run that open mic w/Rick at 50 Fitch Street Pub. That was where Jim made his name so-to-speak...
I was in class with rick and all those guys back in college when rick started the open mic. was one of the regulars untill my work shift changed. Might have to sit in again sometime...
