'Lonnie Williams Group' Tomorrow In Seattle

From Stefan Abuan on Phatfunkblues---

The fantastic Lonnie Williams will be playing at The New Orleans Cajun Restaurant, in Seattle’s Pioneer Square. The show runs from 9:00 PM-1:00 AM, on Saturday, August 29. Come party with the band and the rest of the crowd.
Lonnie hails from Beaumont, Texas and plays saxophone like there’s no tomorrow…who knows? There may be no tomorrow, so why not play for your life every opportunity you have? That’s Lonnie’s philosophy whenever he steps onto the stage.
The band features Lonnie Williams (saxophones & vocals); Steve Nowak (guitar & vocals); Mikel Rollins (electric bass & vocals); Eric Wilcox (drums); and Stefan Abuan (guitar & vocals).
We will be playing a mixture of Jazz, Funk, Blues, with a heavy infusion of Soul.
Stefan Abuan plays with us in 'BE HEAR'. Let's go out and support the talented musicians that work so hard to bring live music into lives. Have a great gig Stefan. Jan

Bartlett Photo 1971-'Good Blessing'

New photo posted on PNW Bands for Bartlett, taken in 1971. Bartlett is 20 years old[in back with glasses] in this photo. Taken in Seattle Washington.
From the site. "The original Good Blessing was formed and named by Mike Jamboretz and Larry Taverner. They performed in coffee houses until King Radio discovered them at a festival at the University of Washington. King Radio auditioned Larry and Mike for the summer gig. The producer wanted to add a female vocalist to the duo. Linda Helland was part of that audition and was added to the duo that day. Steve Bartlett joined the group prior to the first performance. The final version of the group lasted a few months. "
