Well this little trio has a name for now- Robertchez (Roe-Bert-Cheryl). This is a shot by Bob Tucker from our performance at the Cape Rep Theatre’s “Evening of Song and Dance”.
Roe Osborn, Cheryl Kain, Bert Jackson
This was the band back in the day- Patrick Whatoule on drums, Earl the Pearl Shuster on bass, Jake the Snake Myer on keys (he had a very cool Roland Juno 80) and me playing the same old Ibanez GB10. Taken at the gazebo in Emancipation Park, St. Thomas.
OK, can’t resist. Here’s a clip from that era. This was Take Me to the Movies, written by Jake and Earl, featuring full on manic Bert guitar and Miles of the 70s trumpet lines by Calvin Dallas. Recorded at Barnacle Bills Limelight Monday sometime in 1986. We called ourselves Cinema that night. As host Morgan Whalen said, “kind of a fusion rock thing with a little Hughie Masakela thrown in.”
