Jason Parker Quartet Tour in Full Swing!

Jason Parker Quartet at Del Mar Beach

Today we had a glorious day in the San Diego area. We are staying with my Aunt and Uncle in Del Mar, and after they fed us a huge dinner last night and huge breakfast today, we set out for the beach. Josh has been itching to surf since we first saw the ocean a few days ago, so we took him to Swami’s Beach and he got out in it!

But I’m getting ahead of myself. I’m going to start posting video, audio and photos from the tour, and thought I’d do it in chronological order. So today I give you a little video I spliced together of our first stop on the tour. Eugene, you say? Ah no, we stopped long before that:

Auspicious start, eh? 😉

We decided on day one to keep track of what we listened to in the van. We’ve been covering a lot of ground and thought maybe you’d like tos see the diverse tastes of the band. All albums are linked to a place to purchase if you desire (no, we are not sponsored by Amazon! ;))
