G U E S T  B A N D COYOTE HILLS JAZZ BAND Brooks Coleman  reeds George Gibbs  trombone Hal Groody  banjo Dan Hooker  drums	Folks came from all over to be enter- tained, and the Coyotes came down from the hills to entertain, so it worked out great. A complete, no-holds- barred report of the event will appear in Offbeatif we can get Bor- land to put down the saxophone.	Solid front line, nice harmony byplay be- tween tuba and trom- bone.They apparently practice. I hate it when guys do that. A good mix of tunes in- cluded the relatively ob- scure "Saint Louis Blues."	Sonny came from Britain and brought a bundle of talent along with him. Exponent of hot boogie woogie, he was limited to two solos because of a problem with setting off smoke alarms.	Chanteuse here has pipes that won't quit and knows how to use them. Despite a brief set-to with one of our mem- bers, she managed to retain her composure and most of her dignity, but her watch is missing.	Art and I go back a long way toget- her, he a lot farther than I do, of course. (I think he was the one that discovered fire.) He first began on trumpet, but switched to tuba when he realized it would hold more beer.
Patti Kelly  singist Carl Sonny Leyland  piano Art Levin  tuber Gene Marklevits  trumpet N E X T  U P TITANIC JAZZ BAND Their first time at a BSR Session, so behave yourselves and don't frighten them any more than is necessary	The BSR's Poster Boy for June, Myron May is our chef de liquersand personally responsible for keeping bartenders Russ Pontin & Ken Ward in line. So far, he has failed.	Randy Siple brought 5 young jazz- ers with him to let them experience the heat of the arena. The BSR's support of new faces and talents extends the lifespan of OKOM, which keeps us young, too.	Richard Aza- vedo (no re- lation to Lyle Alzedo of the Raiders, de- spite similar scrimmage positions) likes to wear red clothing in order to not be con- spicuous. So far, he has failed.	Charlie Par- ker? No, it's Jim Borland, the editor of Offbeat,who put down his pencil long enough to run a few tunes thru a tenor sax he bought at NAPA Auto Parts.	The BSR's president made his usual brief appearance in order to sign a few autographs, accept some donations, and perform the solemn Celtic ritual of handing out several raffle prizes.
