      Photo Gallery - Karen's
    30th   
      
    Here are some photos and MP3s of our second
    big party. 
    This time we celebrated Karen's 30th birthday
    and, because it was the big-3-0, Calvin got to play in two bands: 
    "The Bogus Asylum Seekers" (formed just for the one night)  
    and his usual band "Two-Sheds Jackson".

        The
        Bogus Asylum Seekers (from left to right): 
        Calvin Monk (bass), Philip Holt (vocals), Matthew
        Holt (vocals), Jason Cooper (drums), Chris Merry (electric
        guitar), Kath Taylor (vocals), Wayne Holt (vocals, acoustic
        & electric guitars, keyboard, accordion and mouth organ), Cyanne Holt (vocals). 
        OK so it's a bit of a small photo and you can only see Jason's
        elbow. The first of these problems can be rectified by clicking here
        for a bigger photo, and there are more photos of Jason at the 2-Sheds Jackson web site here.  | 
       
     
      
    
      
        Another shot of the Bogus Asylum seekers, this time
        doing an Everly Brother's number. Jason
        still manages to be hidden.  |

        Wayne and his sister Kath singing Fairytale of New York. Jason must be the
        most photo shy drummer you are ever likely to meet.  | 
       
     
     
    Here are the MP3s of the entire Bogus Asylum Seekers set in the order they were
    played.  
    Believe it or not, this was the first time the entire band had played together
    (although we did have one rehearsals without all the vocalists and the vocalists rehearsed
    a bit separately).

    * The fancy digital recording gear ran out of disk space at this
    point so this track is taken from a video camera audio track and so is much lower quality. 
    All songs except * recorded by Jason Cooper and mixed by Calvin
    Monk 
    * Recorded by Bryan Inger and mixed by natural acoustics.
