"Dear Steve Bartlett,

Hello and Happy Holidays!
I know it’s been a long time since many of you have heard from me, so here’s the latest news.
After an exciting and productive few years living and working in the New Jersey/New York City area,
I have returned to my home north of Seattle with my beautiful new bride, Demaree, and our three dogs, to settle down for a while. I will be teaching drums and running the newly-updated Ivy House studio, in addition to working on various recording and video projects and gigging whenever possible.
Currently in the production pipeline are: the free improv CD set with the Essex Improviser’s Collective; the Gary Lee Rollins CD; the second Inquest CD,; and a package of audio and video from
studio sessions in New Jersey with Gary, Bob Ackerman, and Rick Crane and takes from the January 2010 Cecil’s gig with Bob and Francesco Beccarro. These are all behind schedule, due to the delays caused by moving, working at Demaree’s river cottage in North Carolina (after Hurricane Irene), and fixing up the house and studio here in Washington. You’ll be hearing a lot more about these projects and more in the coming weeks.
The studio is open for business and running your choice of Pro Tools, Logic, or Cubase. We have made considerable upgrades and now are running on a 32x8 Mackie board. We also are doing
high-quality HD video shooting and editing and a number of other services.
We have lots of video footage up on YouTube at www.youtube.com/fredtaylordrummer, and audio files at www.myspace.com/fredtaylordrummer and www.myspace.com/fredtaylorandinquest. We’re also on Facebook at www.facebook.com/fredtaylordrummer.
We wish you a very merry Christmas, happy Hannukah, and any other holiday you celebrate at this wonderful time of year. God bless you all.
Thanks to you all for your interest and support, and we look forward to hearing from friends old and new.
Fred, Demaree, Cinnamon, Li’l Bit and Mikey."

OK....Well, Steve did a tune by JAMES BROWN a few years ago when he played with Al Earick/guitar/vocals, and KEVIN CHRISTENSEN/drums, SHERYL CLARK/sax and other awesome area musicians in the band... ROAD DAWGS. This tune always started with Al asking if we all felt like chicken tonight? Of course, the answer was always 'Yes!...we did'. Then, the music would begin.
AND, now I'll ask you....'Feel like chicken tonight?....[HINT...'yes'].   Tamborine Borrilli/vocals and owner of THE SPIRAL CAFE in Yelm, recently informed me, when I asked about her OPEN MIC each Thursday evening from 6:30 to 9:30 pm at the Spiral,... THAT this week, yep, this very week the remodeling would be finished, and her very famous, juicy and magically yummy "All Natural Rotisserie Chicken" would begin. 
OK Now you're talkin' my kinda talk. Not only do I [T. Jan] love music....but, there's nothin' better...in my way of thinkin' than very yummy chicken with more music and more music. Let's all check out THE SPIRAL CAFE's new chicken real soon...OK?

"RIP - Ernesto Augstine Barela


.by Crystal Sincoff on Monday, October 31, 2011 at 2:47pm.This was not as I expected. The feelings I am having. I have not talked to my father since I was in college and it was a strained relationship then. I don’t have many father daughter memories to fall back on with a smile. I did not get along well with him...
Am I crying for the little girl who remembers riding on her father’s shoulders as we go to cut down a Christmas tree up at Mt. Spokane? Or the girl who remembers her father tinkering with a car engine, while she sits at the wheel pretending to drive? Or the man he was that I never really got to know? The man my mother fell in love with. I wish I knew that man. The man who made my mother smile. The man I only got glimpses of.
My father was a putterer. He puttered around the garage, fixing things. He puttered in the yard, growing things. He was actually quite good with fruit trees, berries, gardens, plants. It was here that my father nurtured, not with people.
I don’t know what happened to my dad in Vietnam…but it made him hard. It made his ability to be a father, a husband, a happy person, impossible. I mourn for the loss of that person he could have been. The relationship we never had.
It is 2011 and my dad served in Vietnam before I was born. More than 40 years after that war it was Agent Orange that killed him."

Gig With MARTIN SALINAS Last Week And WALTER's BIRTHDAY This Saturday


MARTIN SALINAS

Last Friday, Steve was honored to be asked to play again with MARTIN SALINAS/guitar, STEVE HICKS/drums, TERESA OAKMAN/vocals at UNCLE SAM's in Spanaway. I, T.Jan, enjoyed the evening too. Only second gig I've got to see in the last year, because of my health.

I had heard such great reports about Teresa's beautiful voice from my Steve and our neighbor, STEVE HICKS/drums, who owns HOBBY STREET STUDIOS, a fantastic place to go for recording or to hear fine music in this area. It was wonderful to get to hear Teresa myself. And, even though she had experienced a unexpected vehical breakdown up by Alder Lake, WA.,  with the help of many friends ans strangers, she was at the gig on time and ready to give a great performance.  She had several of her fans at the gig...they all were enjoying themselves too. Thank you Teresa.
Martin will be leaving soon for California, we will miss him, what a awesome musical talent.
I hope some of Teresa's fans will send photos of this gig as promised soon...I'll post them here. It was a fine evening of live music.
AND,This Saturday evening, October 29th, 8:30 pm, at THE SPIRAL CAFE in Yelm, enjoy Steve BARTLETT ON BASS in the band WALTER's BIRTHDAY.

The Heavy - How You Like Me Now? (Live)


MUSICIANS: TWO New Gig Venues To Check Out AND I Don't Kiss Like A Banana Slug!

Photo by by Jim Whitehead cc..banana slug
ATTENTION all great musicians ....In our area there's TWO great music venues to check out, that's THE SPIRAL CAFE, ARTS and WELL BEINGNESS CENTER in Yelm and THE HIDDEN RIVER INN in Rainier. Cool places...each one.
BARTLETT ON BASS will be performing at each one in the next couple of weeks with that fantastic band he's in with his music buddies..Jon, Scott and Tod.
Since, I have some problems lately with mobility, don't worry it's just temporary...I haven't been at the gigs...BUMMER. [T. Jan]. But, I have a great idea, I'll tell later AND, remember, I don't kiss like a banana slug, explanation to follow.
Steve tells me everything that gos on at his gigs...so, I can report it here. He says THE SPIRAL CAFE is just beautiful, with a fantastic stage, dance floor and fun, it's open for many cultural events. THE HIDDEN RIVER INN has so many great things posted about it online..a fine Restaurant plus  theatre area that can hold up to 500 guests for music events....cool. It's in a wildlife santurary too.
So,....I want to get to ALL of my hubby's gigs, even if I do it creatively...OK? So here's my new idea...if a venue is difficult for me to get to I can be carried on one of those liter-things, you know what I mean, like Cleopatra...I like those big feather fans too...it'll be fun you guys.... really. Just sit me down by that cool bassman with his beautiful smile, and let me hear the music..OK? That's all, I'll be in Bartlett heaven.
This is where that banana slug story begins...that beautiful smile.
Steve and I have been together since Nov. 1995...we use to do everything together...after all, we're best friends that's all. I was at every gig and rehearsal too. I even went up north to his day-job with him when I could walk, using only a cane.
One time, Steve was working in Federal Way...no, it was Kent. We camped out each night at a State Park nearby. Since we hadn't packed a tent we just put our sleeping bag on the ground and had no tent. 
One morning...Steve was smiling THAT smile, and grinning ear to ear, as we got up for coffee.
"What's up Steve?"...this is what he said. During the night, he woke up...thinking I was kissing him, and he was telling me this was NOT the time or place, he's a shy guy....that's when, he heard my snoring beside him. WHAT???
He reached up to pull a HUGH Banana Slug off his lips , and flung it into the forest...I just kept snoring peacefully the whole night. I don't kiss like a banana slug you guys AND, snore very dantily too,.THE END. T. Jan

Yep...he was seen at LIQUID SOUL COFFEE ROASTER's in McKenna, celebrating 'little Michelle's' birthday party. Now, that the BLUE BOTTLE's gone, Little Michelle is working with our friend MARTIN SALINAS/guitar/vocals and owner of Liquid Soul.
There were lots of happy musicians there last night 'cause not just was it Liquid Soul's regular THURSDAY's OPEN MIC crowd there, but BLUE BOTTLE's old CREW and birthday well-wishers too, led by that nortorious  newly wed known as Michelle Jones and her side-kick and partner in crime hubby Flemming Olsen. It was they who let me [T. Jan] in on this little surprise for 'little Michelle'... OK? Cool Now you know the whole story.
Now, Steve had a great time and there was plenty of musicians and music. too...a few of the musicians that BARTLETT mentioned to me were...... that talented Recording Artist, JON BARONI/keys/harp/vocals. From THE MANDOLIN CAFE's Sunday night OPEN-MIC fame DENNY FOREMAN/jazz guitar/vocals and RUSS HARRIS/congas/harp,  BLUEWAVE's ERIC DELOME/guitar/vocals. Amanda/guitar/vocals, Carol/guitar/vocals...you know...Carol and Kenny, that Carol...cool. thanks you guys...and of course, there was DAVID WAYNE/guitar and MARTIN SALINAS/guitar/vocals and more folks that my hubby didn't get to have a beer with but, enjoyed their music just the same.
Vocalist/ G.W TAYLOR called us yesterday...but, he was in a performance across town...and could not make it last night.
 That's the way it was last night. Well,... about the way it was...it's pretty darn close anyway. OK? Good enough...print it. T. Jan.
