Jacob is quite the showman. He loves to come out front.

Maiya -- kicking arse, as does Joey on Delilah. Both have polished up their performance skills (especially Joey as she is newer.)

That he is! I remember at my show--June I think--when he got up on the piano...the crowd went wild! And also when he held a note for a really long time.

It's called Circular breathing

Quote:Circular breathing is a wind instrument technique that allows the player to sustain a tone for an extended period of time. This is accomplished by storing air in the mouth (inflating the cheeks) and using this reservoir of air to inhale through the nose while air is still coming out the mouth.

in LA I gave Jacob a photo taken by Greg Williams of him on the piano at the last LA show, where he is playing on top of the piano

#pmjtour thanks for sharing your birthday with us @JSaysKnee !! Fun show!

Had a blast w/ PMJ tonight, got an opportunity to get a photo pass. More of a challenge than I expected. The spots I was allowed to shoot from were mostly blocked by audience, they didn't put a barricade in front of the stage for me to traverse, so my best chance was from a raised area using a zoom lens... which had it's own challenge because I had to maually focus so I can keep a faster shutter speed to reduce a blurry image from fast movements. I'm used to automatic focus so wasn't as adept at manual focus off an lcd viewer as I'd like to be....Maybe 10 or so 'usable' photos from the many I took


It was also Jacob's 23rd Birthday, I bought 23 cupcakes to the VIP afterwards where everyone got to sing Happy Birthday to Jacob. I gave him a photo that Greg Williams took at the first show we saw Jacob perform with Casey at Citywalk (I told Casey his Dad was Jacob biggest promoter while we waited for them "wait 'til you see the sax guy, he's amazing!"

I asked Jacob if it was OK if I could get a picture w/ he and Casey. Jacob came up with the idea to re enact Greg's photo from CityWalk.... Ariana jumped in to be the 'adoring' fan

here's one of Sarah

Even though Haley wasn't in Seattle, it gave me an opportunity to mingle and talk w/ the other PMJ's many of whom I didn't get to talk to in SD and LA because I had stuff I had to take care of for others w/o taking too much of Haley's time.

It was fun visiting w/ Ariana again (made sure some of the Bday muffins I bought were 'gluten free' for her, the chocolate chip ones) Sarah was refreshingly real and bright as ever. Asked for a pic w/ both (which Casey Photobombed )


Here are a couple captures from Casey and Blakes Snapchats of bringing out Jacob's cupcakes, everyone singing Happy Bday to him. Jacob had us stand back so he could blow them all out in one breath


Maiya had HUGE response this night. She is really underappreciated among PMJ's vocalists. Every show I've attended, her performances are often greeted w/ raucous and enthusiastic applause

Blake had friends and family attend, including Christa Wells, the young vocalist I heard performing up here w/ Blake's Band "Mother of Pearl" (I posted video of one of their performances)... she has an album that came out today, great voice, I convinced her to start a Twitter account, and plan to see any performances she might have.... (she was surprised I knew who she was, I told her I saw her perform w/ Blake up here, she'd seen the video I posted)

Got to talk w/ Joey, told her how much she has improved since joining PMJ. She said that PMJ was like "Free School". She knew me from Twitter/youtube and told me she also knows me from Haley's mentions a very nice, sweet young lady

It's always nice to spend some time w/ the artists, who's job it is to put themselves out to be judged, give them some positive encouragement....

So even w/o Haley, I had loads of fun. PMJ's staff were super nice, apparently told I was going to be there ahead of time, so really had no issue getting around, the staff at the Showbox were just as nice.

I got to experience another event w/ a Photo pass, talk to fans interested in what's going on w/ PMJ (some were disapointed that Haley & Scott wouldn't be there) There were fans who've seen PMJ many times (one from Maui) and many that this would be their 1st PMJ show. While setting up, I was happy to answer any questions they had.... some were hoping to see the artists afterwards, I didn't have the heart to tell them that would probably not happen w/ the new VIP rules

Here were a couple fans, there to see Casey (Outside of Haley, I was asked about Casey and Scott quite a bit) I asked them their names and told them I would tweet it out, maybe Casey will see (PMJ liked the Tweet, Casey thanked me later)

@CaseyBassy fans cannot wait to see him in Seattle #Dexter #Makenna #pmjtour @PMJofficial

Oh, and a bonus treat, I'd seen in some tweets that Casey had taken up singing "Sweet Child of Mine"...having heard Morgan's rendition a couple times, I wasn't sure if he could pull it off? Man, did the guy pull it off, it was very good.

When PMJ let me have the photo pass, they said to use my best 'discretion'... so that's why I decided to just take photos and not any video w/ my access. I realise PMJ appreciate what I do for them, in my own way, but I think, in the end, they'd prefer that people see them live than on a fan video (Very rare they retweet fan videos)

Ken Smith Video from the Warfield in SF

It is hard to imagine Casey doing Sweet Child 'O Mine --- it seems like it requires a singer with the "big" voice. Hopefully somebody will record it at one of the shows.

Did Jacob go around to all the boxes blowing out the candles with one breath?

I she Ariana was up to her usual shenanigans of teasing some older guy in the front.

Here's that Maiya Creep rendition

We held the boxes out, he prepared himself, took a deep breath and blew them all out in one breath
