Hi, got some great news. I told you about my wonderful birthday
right? Well, remember I also told you my parents are going to be
taking me to a jazz concert that is free? I found out where it is.
It is at a restaurant called Old South Bar-B-Que located at 4115
Concord Boulevard
Concord, CA 94519-1555
(925) 825-3600

Here's a description:
Old South Bar-B-Que was founded in September of 1977 by Gloria &
Harold Cox in Hayward, CA. This was a small venture, but a very
large undertaking for the Cox family. Since the restaurant only had
seating for eight, most of the orders were take-out. Gloria was the
heart and soul of the restaurant. She had an eye for detail and
serving great "down home" Bar-B-Que. Most of the customers she knew
by first name.
In 1979, as the business began to grow, Old South became a family
owned business with most of the siblings working at the restaurant.
Gloria successfully operated the Hayward store until 1994. A second
location was opened in San Leandro in 1990. Charles & Lydia Cox were
the proprietors of the San Leandro location. That location was open
for over 17 years.
Charles opened the Concord, CA location in April 2007. This location
has seating for 40 people and, of course, there is still take out
service available. We are open daily for lunch and dinner.
This quaint East Bay supper club is cooking up more than just
Bar-B-Que these days. At the restaurant, you will also find
entertaining live jazz performances featuring local artists on most
Friday or Saturday evenings. Come out for a wonderful evening of
good food and fun - you won't go home without meeting someone new!
We take enormous pride in creating an atmosphere that is warm and friendly.
We are a real "down home" southern style Bar-B-Que restaurant. We
know that you'll find something on the menu that will satisfy your
palate. We pride ourselves with our signature (home made, on site)
Beef Hot Links. All of the meats are slow cooked and smoked right
here on site. We have sauces that will fit your taste buds including
our own MILD, MEDIUM AND HOTTTTTTT flavors.
Well, I've been asked to sit-in with the jazz band on trumpet. This
is huge, huge, huge, and yet I thought I was going to just listen instead!
I'm nervous, haven't played trumpet in jazz band since 2004 age 19
in high school and in 2006 when I played trombone in the jazz band
and I was 21 in college and I wanted to play trumpet instead, so
could use some full-on encouragement. It is going to be recorded
using an Olympus DS50 Digital Voice Recorder! I'm excited and yet
nervous, never done a sit-in before.
Thanks,
Your Friend,
Chela Robles

"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever.
It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you
get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're
on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound,
the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter
