"Sax Sensation"

Sunday-June 22, 2008

19 year-old J. Boykin!

Need I say more. At 19 this guy has just blown my mind away! I was so excited that we would be able to host a native Riverside Resident, to help launch his career! How awesome is that!

Well, this story is even more fun! So, a customer walks into the shop, and is asking questions about the wine and how we breakdown the categories! Well, in that conversation Victor is having with her, I think he mentions that he's looking for artist to play live!

So, this customer, drops "J.Boykin's" name.

As most of you well know, I am a busy, busy, business woman...and I did not have time to stop and listen to what Victor was telling me at the time! I knew it had something to do with Grand Opening, I already talk to his manager, live music, jazz....! That's what I heard.

As, it's approaching closer and closer, I ask Victor, "can you give me the web address of the artist because it's getting close"... etc.,etc.

I jump on this... not to exciting"myspace".com profile to hear what J.Boykin, can do!

I seriously, closed my eyes as the profile loads....because I don't want to be swayed by anything other than what my ears can hear.

Granted, at this point, I don't know J. Boykin, don't know his age, his music, ....my space....little shady....!

Pris, close your eyes and imagine, Thorton Winery's Jazz Series!

And, just like that....BAM!

I think....Sunday Afternoon, this guy is perfect!

This guy can BLOW!

Nice.

Call his manager.

Negotiate.

Done...

Sunday Afternoon Jazz in Eastvale is accomplished!
