Half-SASS in the Park Yesterday AND Today Lotsa Jazz in Olympia @ Traditions

Shelly and Steve, unknown from Shell's facebook page

What! What's 'Half-SASS'anyway? Oh, you know.....it's just part of the usual SASS guys were at LINCOLN PARK in Tacoma yesterday for the LINCOLN INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL . It was hot, like summers are 'spose to be, and some of the SASS guys, namely STEVE MERRIAM/guitar, and ANDRE THOMAS.drums were elsewhere... having a well earned vacation.
So, who was there?...at the park I mean? Well, there was , of course, the one and only Ms. SHELLY ELY/amazing vocals, and that Funky Fat Bottom man, Mr. STEVE BARTLETT/bass...BUT, those are regular SASS guys...huh?...you know them already, don't you?
Let me  tell ya 'bout the new guys that were filling in for Merriam and Thomas O.K? On guitar there was GARY CROOKS and on drums BILL RAY...so, we were cool we had our base's covered. Yeah!
Now, for today....TRADITIONS in Olympia have their monthly Jazz Jam. Yeah, every second Sunday of each month 'round 2 to 5pm....cool! We;re going. I'll find the address and post it here. O.K?....see link. Jan
