Notes On A Napkin

Note on a Napkin

...This month’s column begins on a sad note. Saxophone player extraordinaire Pat Mulvey joined Our Lord in heaven on Jan 29, after suffering a massive heart attack. The standing-room-only service at Salvation Army Church the following Sunday was attended by many friends, band mates & family members. Several mourners gave tearful, heartfelt testimonies of Pat’s impact on their lives; some shared humorous memories. Especially touching thoughts were related by Pat’s daughter Lisa, who gave the eulogy. Vocalist Danny Primer did a poignant version of Swing Low Sweet Chariot.

New DotCom Bar opens w/Norman Sylvester, live music Fridays

Known as a "blue-collar" bar and a favorite of the longshoremen and other shipyard workers in the area, the DotCom Bar plans to continue in that tradition, with their own twist.

They've added live music to the mix on Fridays, and occasionally, DJs. Along with that, DotCom has plasma screen TVs for your favorite sports events, free pool and a jukebox. Lottery games will also soon be available. They boast easy access from the freeways, ample free parking, friendly atmosphere, and good food and drink at reasonable prices. Located north of the Pearl district on Front Ave., it's a short trip from the downtown core.

During their grand opening, Friday, Jan. 27,this writer had the pleasure of seeing one of Portland's most venerable artists, Norman Sylvester and his world-class band. As usual, Sylvester had the crowd on their feet dancin' and partyin' the whole night through. On breaks, they featured a live DJ, playing primarily African/reggae/world beat music.
