Bautista at Servino's

Whether it's a crisp chill or warm air from a scorching hot day there's nothing like a clear beautiful evening with a view of San Francisco from the beautiful town of Tiburon and even though I was snotty and polka dottie with a cold two Friday evenings ago BAUTISTA was Hot as a five piece when we played Servino Restaurant and Night Club. We're getting very good as a five piece with Conguero Paul Sonnabend, Hand Percussionist/Timbalero Mark Briseno, Set Drummer Eric Engstrom, Jim Allen laying down smooth Bass lines and yours truly swinging my Smooth Rythyms and cranking out Lead Guitar. We had the joint jumpin'! Looks like BAUTISTA will do some regular dates at Servino!

The only down side of playing the night club scene is the late night hours but it really is so much fun to fit in a tight spot with a group of good players playing some hot Drivin' grooves and the whole place having a great time. It's also a lot of fun when we're playing in the afternoon at crowded festival. I would say that playing as we do is truly a gift.

So with 2008 almost wrapped up BAUTISTA is set to play Maverick Construction's Christmas Party this Friday, December 19. This will be our fifth straight year playing this private party, or is it the sixth? I must be losing it! Pride and Joy will dish out their dancing stuff upstairs while BAUTISTA cranks out some Hot Latin Jazz Fusion Dance music downstairs. Our line for the evening will be Conguero Paul Sonnabend, Hand Percussionist/Timbalero Mark Briseno, Set Drummer Carrie Jahde, new Bass Player Jeff Young, the hot Rythym and Lead Keyboard Playing of David Dykstra and yours truly ripping it up on my Gibson Guitars.

So the economy is in the tank! Get out, enjoy life, dance your troubles away and come alive!

See you soon!
