Topic: Happy Birthday to our buddy Tallan!!
Yes it's true, our buddy Tallan "T-Man" Latz has today left the single digit numbers in age and is now 10 years old. Saturday, Tallan did get a couple early Birthday presents and one that he was hoping for turned out. After BamFest, which was held on Lake Monona in Madsion Wisconsin, Tallan was able to get up for the last song at the after-show jam. He got to play with Chris Duarte, Sue DaBaco, Don Rembert, Scott Walters on bass and Chris Burroughs on drums.
You'll see in this video the last song. Tallan had his guitar present in his Dad's van, but because this impromptu show just happened, he didn't have it with him at the stage. No problem, Chris Duarte lent one of his guitars to Tallan, tuned in a different key than Tallan is used to. The tempo of the song is a bit qiuck too, but I think Tallan does a great job playing the 11's on Chirs' guitar.
Anyway, Happy Birthday Tallan and as Chris said, "Next young lion, ladies and gentleman!"
