The Funtime Blues Band!

January 14, 2010

Willie Thomas’ Jazz class, The Funtime Blues Band, kicked off this week with percussion, singing and smiling faces.  This is by far the most popular class that has been held at The Funhouse! It is quite a remarkable class considering the skill level of all the musicians involved, besides Willie, Al Bentley, Emily Miner, Tony Morales and Steve Alboucq are also helping provide this opportunity for the kids. If you are interested in Jazz it is worth stopping by to see the class in action, these kids are certainly some cool cats!

The Funtime Blues Band is every Monday afternoon 3:30-4:45 p.m.
