Saludos Bongoceros,long time without posting. Here are some pictures of my old Palisades Park Lp now with Cuban style bottom hoops made of Stainless Steel by Papo Del Valle and a picture of my Timbas Del Valle with a brown and beige cow Macho skin.

About myself and the time away from the forum, I am still going to percussion classes this time at the P.R conservatory of music where there is never a lesson assign.The teacher mode is to open the book on a page and work there, lessons from syncopation by Ted Reed, Luies Bellson,Salsa charts and Stick control are cover in a random way.It is very challenging since you do not know what lessons are going to be use.

More over, Iam playing with a group named Conjunto Akangana which consist of 1 Trumpet,1 Trombone, Alto Sax, Piano, Upright Bass, Conga , Bongó and 3 singer,all veterans players. Should be posting some pictures after tomorrow night gig.

Vaya Caballo, hace tiempo que no te leo. Eso bongoces estan por la Masetonga hermano! Consegui uno cueros syntetico color negro como los que usted tienen en los Palisades de REMO pero la insignia de la compania es un color oscuro. Suenan bonito los machos. La Hembras no suenan autentico pero pasan un sonido decente. Gracias por los photos de su bongoces. Cuidate siempre hermanito.

Jorge.

Saludos to all, here is an update of the my old lp garfield Bongó. I took the crown of a gonbops and this is the way it looks.

About the musical scene down here, it is finally up running as we played last friday, have 2 gigs this next weekend and another on the 14. Let's see how long we keep it going.

CBB, that is very good to hear from you, and I hope you enjoy your classes and gigs.
And your Palisades Park bongó is particularly beautiful (now).

One correction the bongo is not Palisades Park, that bongo says "Garfield"
on the sticker. Also the Thai Oak gives it away as a "Garfield" era bongo
and probably made in the mid 1980's. It does look very unique.
