The Register band, now called The Trusted Sources (get it?), made a long-awaited reunion last night at the company Christmas party, which for the first time since I started there was held off-site, at the Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach, courtesy of the new owners. We kicked five sets (if I say so myself), and I had a particularly grand time thanks to a couple of stringers we hired for the horn section, Johnny V on trumpet and Tom Morgan on saxophone. I attempted to keep up with those guys, and since they tried to make it easy for me, I mostly did, even nailing the tough horn lick (to my surprise) in Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” near the end of the evening.
