I play guitar(6 string) with this group here in town. We mainly play for the old folks in the retirement and care homes. It's kind of satisfying when we can get a smile or a foot taping with the music. The problem is that we have four guitars and several other type of instruments , but no bass. So last month i bought this new acoustic / electric bass guitar. Now i'm working on learning to play it. Hopefully it will give our group a fuller sound.
For anyone that's interested ,,,,it's made by Beaver Creek and the model is BCB05.
Strobe info: One Vivitar 285 with a narrow snoot positioned behind and above the guitar aiming at the sound hole. The strobe was set to manual @ 1/4 power. I also used a blue gel to give the strings that cool look.

Desert Botanical Garden had numerous musical performances throughout the Garden throughout the night.
This is Simply Three. A virtuoso string quartet with an eclectic repertoire of classical, jazz, show tunes, and contemporary. The bassist was stellar with some awesome jazz riffs and techniques. Native born Arizonan Nick Villalobos brought back memories of some of my favorite jazz double bassists.
classically trained. pop influenced. string driven.
The electrifying trio of Glen McDaniel, Nick Villalobos, and Zack Clark, together known as Simply Three, has been captivating audiences worldwide with high-octane performances since 2010. Acclaimed as “having what it takes” (Boston Philharmonic) and “highly imaginative and well played” (Maine Today), Simply Three continues to receive praise for their ability to impress listeners with a multitude of genres that span from artists and composers such as Adele, Gershwin, Coldplay, twenty one pilots, Ed Sheeran, and Michael Jackson. By reshaping convention through this style of genre hopping, the trio continues to seek the true essence of classical crossover with original works as well as innovative arrangements that showcase their technical virtuosity and heartfelt musicality.

Desert Botanical Garden is festive with Holiday decorations. Tonight was one of Las Noches de Las Luminarias. Almost 8,000 luminarias are lit for several special events and nights. It was a picture perfect night for me until about 1930 when the crowds starting getting too big to get any photos.

"Las Noches de las Luminarias, held annually at Desert Botanical Garden, has become a beloved tradition since 1978. This enchanting event illuminates the desert landscape with thousands of hand-lit luminaria bags, creating a captivating atmosphere that attracts visitors from around the globe. As the Garden transforms into a winter wonderland, it offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of the desert during the holiday season. The Garden invites you to join this year’s celebration, including luminaria-lit trails, twinkling holiday lights, musical performances, entertainment and festive food and drinks.
The event features live music and performances, ranging from traditional holiday tunes to contemporary sounds. Simply Three, the dynamic trio whose imaginative blend of genres, captivating arrangements and high-energy performances has garnered critical acclaim, returns to the Garden for the first time since 2022. The Garden is also debuting a world stage of performers that will include mariachis, Celtic music and more. Plus, fan favorites like bell choirs, carolers and harps return. Visit dbg.org to explore the full entertainment schedule.
This year, the Garden is thrilled to offer an even brighter spectacle with LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO. The immersive experience explores the fascinating intersection of science, math and nature through stunning geometric light installations throughout the Garden. The talented duo behind HYBYCOZO, Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu, drew inspiration from the night-blooming flowers, creating an exhibit that “comes alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.”
Community and tradition
"Although Las Noches de las Luminarias debuted in 1978, each year introduces new themes and artistic elements, ensuring that it remains fresh and exciting while honoring its origins. In collaboration with staff and volunteers, then-Executive Director Rodney Engard aimed to create a holiday event that represented the Southwest and complemented the Garden’s beauty– a gift to the community and an homage to desert plants. In the early years, staff and volunteers worked to light more than 700 luminarias using brown paper bags, sand and candles. The event has grown from one night at its inception to two nights and now to 19 nights each winter due to popular demand. Mariachi music was introduced, as well as musical features and innovations to the luminaria bags, which are now reusable, honoring the Garden’s commitment to sustainability. Garden staff and volunteers light each luminaria bag by hand each evening as a gift to the community.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

That's Brent Byers, bassist, in his early years performing with The Bachelors who still play their vintage Rockabilly Monday nights at the Saloon in North Beach.
Jose Segue, of Hicks on Sticks blog writes "The Bachelors, a trio with Brent Byers on bass, Jinx Jones on guitar, and a cast of semi-regular drummers, have been playing for 20+ years. Their marketing remains ultra-low profile: no videos, no CDs, no posters, no email list, no merch and no website"
