How many people out there are lucky enough to live over the road from a great band?
I do!
Which is how I came to be listening to live music this morning as I breakfasted out on the deck.
Jam Doctor is a 4 member kiwi band. Classic rock, I guess you'd call it - great numbers like Sweet Home Alabama and Play That Funky Music. The sort of music that gets your body moving whether you mean to or not.
John Trueman is the lead vocalist and also on rhythm guitar, Daniel Trueman is on drums, Raymond Tahu is on lead guitar and Chris Matthews on bass. Daniel, Raymond and Chris all come in on backing vocals.
These guys likes to support local events so were going to be performing at the Mangakino Christmas Parade later today which explains how I was able to enjoy their music as I munched my way through my wheaties.
You'd pay a fortune some places to have live music while you breakfast!
Later in the morning, hubby and I went to the Christmas Parade and heard Jam Doctor again - this time belting out those familiar numbers that I get to hear them rehearsing. They keep things turned down a little in rehearsals so it was great to hear them turn the volume up and let it rip!
I know Jam Doctor are fully booked over Christmas and New Year but if anyone out there has got a function coming up in '09, you really should grab these guys. They rock!

Dawn, that sounds like fun. I usually prefer quiet in the a.m., but if there must be music, then I think I'd like it from these guys.
I'm with Leah - I prefer quiet in the morning, but these guys would be infinitely preferable to some kinds of music! (Or, worse yet, traffic noises, or the neighbours' helicopter warming up, which is what I do get to hear occasionally.)
Hi Dawn,
You are so lucky. They are playing the best music and right at your doorstep.

Dawn - thank you for your kind comment on my post about my aunt passing away - it meant a lot to me.
And sorry to hear your hubby still has some numbness - he is better, though, isn't he?
What a treat that must have been.
Jam Doctor sounds great -- I love their name! And a combination of "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Play That Funky Music" sounds irresistible. :)
