Happy New Year!













Happy New Year!!!

Wonder what the New Year will bring?? According to the Chinese New Year 2007 will be the year of the PIG or the Boar. Whatever it is, I hope the year will be better, brighter and hopefully less politics and war. Here at Rock Ola we have decided to have a year end party as if we have not partied for one whole year. Oh well you only live once you know....
There's even room for an advance dragon dance, which appeared out of nowhere. Here's to a better, stronger, richer and more meaningful life to everyone, regardless of color, religion, race, sex and whatever walls we have managed to put up and boxed ourselves into. IT's TIME TO DESTROY THOSE WALLS MAN, reach out!

Dr. Royal Hartigan@Penguin..



We had the pleasure of listening for two nights the music and performance of Mr. Royal Hartigan, visiting professor of african music, percussions and dance. The first one happened last December 21, when Mr. Hartigan's student at the University of the Philippines, (about 30 of them) came to dance and played some african based percussive music. The last performance, which was a week later happened on December 28th. This time he performed an all jazz repertoure. Invited guest musician like Tots Tolentino, alto sax player, Mike Guevarra, tenor sax player, Joey Quirino on the keyboards, Simon Tan on upright bass and Bo Razon on percussions. It was virtually a who's who sort of an all star jazz night and as usual, it was offered free to the public. What more can you ask ??

Here's some pictures........what a night to end the year 2006.
