THE WEEKENDER :) CALIFORNIA THINGS

A JAM
It is just one of those "California things."
Rick Auricchio, THE Mac Man of Cambria and a great
bass player as well pal to many, let us know his new
band RUMBLE was making its debut at the
historic CAYUCOS OLD TOWN TAVERN.
Cayucos is one of the last of the old ungentrified beach towns and just minutes down the coast.  The Old Town Tavern is historic and heaven only knows what its walls have seen and heard over the years.
After a great dinner at Hoppes, only a block away, we sauntered in as the sound check was wrapping up.
The Old Town Tavern is also known for it's Card Room in the 
back and we watched an interesting parade of players file past.  There were a couple of wedding parties in town and
they looked like they could have been from separate planets.
Then RUMBLE started to rock and from the first rip of the guitar, blast of the sax and trumpet and vocal from Katrina it was clear that a tight, skilled, band was laying out a great funky mood.  Soon all the wedding participants, a few of the card sharks and a couple of seasoned  local hullabaloo style dancers were creating their own show.
But the band, wow!  I was stunned to learn from Rick, during a break, they only recently met.  All seasoned players, they immediately found a groove where each of 
their considerable skills combine into a great new
north coast band.  If you are on the Central Coast
and see that Rumble is playing near by-it will be a good show and will get you bopping.
AFTER ROCKING
TRY ROLLING
THROUGH SAN FRANCISCO BAY
THIS IS AMAZING
ENJOY
See you down the trail.
