[Dixielandjazz] Video of St. Gabriel's Celestial Brass Band at a Nice Mardi Gras event 2011

 Yes David,  Thanks for the kind words,  it is indeed live,  the Guitar player is Paul Branin, our Tenor Sax Player  not sure you have met him yet,  I finally figured that if the Dirty Dozen could have one so could we :)) ha ha  we also have two good drummers now that play keyboards and sing very well, and five of the Trombone players also play Tuba pretty well.  We now try to stay four or five deep on every instrument to cover multiple gigs at the same time.  And thanks for doing that Redwood City gig, you guys made us proud while we had to suffer through all those semi naked ladies at the Naughty Gras Party.   I heard all of you guys had a good time on the Redwood city gig too, and they want to do it again next year.  That speaks highly of the caliber of guys who work with us in our organization.  We also have a new member who plays Guitar and electric Bass when needed Levi Seacer  who was the Bass Player for Prince  very funky dude.

Look forward to seeing and playing with you again soon David.

Is that audio track really St. Gabriel's ? I have played many times
with the band and we never had an electric guitar!

By the way, St. Gabriel's has enough players on hand to field several
bands at a time - while the Naughty Mardi Gras was happening, St.
Gabriel's was also playing in Redwood City, CA in 3 different bars and
the sidewalks of the downtown (to very good crowds.)

It is a very fun band to play with and I get to "stretch my chops"
with many songs that are not in the standard OKOM book. If our kind of
bands are going to continue on for another 50 - 100 years, the
repertoire  has to expand!
