All right. So, as of 10 pm tonight, eleven readers have agreed to be Satchmo’s host for ten days. I think this number is more than enough. So, if you’re thinking about hosting Satchmo, I think you would have to wait for the next leg [kung naa. LOL]. Each host will be given at least ten days [depending on their schedules] to tour and photograph Satchmo. Hehehe [lucky cow]. After that, the host must see to it that Satchmo gets to the next host ‘safe and sound’. Don’t worry, I will give you the address of the next person in line so you two can talk about how the ‘shipment’ will be, uhmm, shipped.
Ok. So here’s the list of Satchmo’s stops for the AMERICAN LEG of his tour.

Alabama [Luisa USA] – September 21 to 30
CONFIRMED na ko, just email me the next host’s info…. I will email you Ley on your yahoo act. about my info as well. I also see you sometimes on my buddy/messenger list.
Wow, lucky Satchmo!!!!! going on a world tour not yet, so far the sponsors are most likely from the US, maora wala sa Europe….. hehehe, that will be Satchmo’s next stop! good luck on your US tour Satchmo…
Ley, pls. lang ayaw pag ma’am maora man pod ta ug tigulang anang ma’am oy, young at heart pa ko ha, hopefully we can meet on my Oct-Nov visit this year.
Satchmo is lucky he will be able to visit one of the most historical place in the US the “south” Alabama (AL)….. not alot of filipinos here, have to search for a fil-am org. when we first got here. Sayang walay sponsor sa Alaska (AK), the “last frontier” its so beautiful there, we lived there for 4yrs prior to moving to AL.
Next would be a European tour for Satchmo! I’d gladly host him here 🙂
murag sa 2nd leg ta buchik ani kay murag in demand kaayo satchmo sa US . . . once the europe tour will commence, ley will coordinate us to keep in touch……:)
Satchmo should do a US, European, Asian tour, I don’t know how safe he will be in the Middle East……. hehehe, Dubai or Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is okay or on my deployment to the sand box he can go…..whaaaahh
Hey guys, why not sponsor a visit for Ley in the US, he can file for a tourist visa and we can all contribute for his plane ticket to America a a a a ………heck, I’ll be glad to have him come stay with our family for free, all the fans of MCPB do is to contribute for his ticket….. if we can get 10-20 sponsors (like 50buck per person or less/more) he can have an airline ticket+pocket money. This is a very generous gesture of us here in the US/Europe/Canada who has been enjoying his nice blog work for free.
nice idea, count me in.
Siguro sa Assuie league nalang ko moapil.Ley ur invited for a US holiday. Go for it, do ur passport now. Im one of the sponsor.
ofw_cebu mao jud. maayo pa si Satchmo kay ma meet niya ang tanan. lingaw 🙂
Springfield, IL [Mam Jenny] – April 5 to 17 – CONFIRMED
— as in “Abraham Lincoln land??? as in Springfield Illinois???suya ko……
i’ll trade places with satchmo gyud just to step on Lincoln’s land… waaaaaahhhhhhhhh
hehe, sorry ley… obvious lang jud na idol…told you mu.hirit jud ko..
hope there’d be lots of pix si satchmo sa springfield… esp. if ang log cabin sa mga lincolns… okay, get hold of your emotions vet…
sorry, ley… but satchmo in springfield?? vicarious tourist na lang pud ko…
Bisdaks from USA, which one of you is nearer Montreal (North American side)? Send Satch to me, I’m next in line after you. Also, count me in for Leylan’s tourist sponsorship fund. That is a very good idea, Miss Luisa! Bless your heart.
Ready to pitch-in for Leyland’s ticket. He has my contact info.
ngee! kanindot! pero ayaw sa mo paghisgot ana oi. wa man gani koy passport. hahahahaha.
Takdol, taga di-in man ka sa Mabolo? Kay kaila man ka ni Nang Titang sa “sinug” silingan man mi nila adtong una sa H. Joaquino St. Mabolo. My nickname growing up in Mabolo was “Marilou”
Ley, passport is good for 5 o 10 yrs. (not sure sa pinas) kuha na lang karon, then you can use it anytime……
Ley,
Please count me in!
Looking forward to be on Satchmo’s 1st tour around USA. I’m sending you my shipping add.
Thanks!
Mich
@Luisa – I couldn’t really think of a landmark to describe where we lived. Among address didto was MJ Cuenco mismo, but to be honest, it would be difficult for me to find the place now kay daghan na ug kausaban (medyo law’m kaayo na da – ‘kausaban’).
yehey! confirmed na ko. hehehe cant wait. thanks ley!
@Luisa. Kaila ba ka sa mga Hermosa family? Evelyn is my best friend. They live near the church, sudlonon pa gamay.When I went home last Jan., daku na kaayo ang kausaban, dili na gyud pareha sa kaniadto. Nakahilak ko tungod sa kalibug sa akong utok. Hahaha!
Ianne,
Da oy, familiar man kaayo nang Hermosa family. Asa man nga church sa Mabolo? Ang among mga kaliwat mga del Mar, Macasero, diha sa Mabolo, akong papa taga Sta. Rosa sa Mactan ba. Last year Nov 13, our whole family went back home, my father died in San Diego and was buried in Mactan Island Mem. garden. Diha siya gihaya sa luyo sa simbahan sa Mabolo kanan ilang Mabolo Memorial chapel. I know, dako na kaayo ang kausaban sa Cebu, dugay na kaayo mi diri sa states, diri pod ko nag college, there was a time that I did not even go back there for 15yrs, and 3yrs ago I went back home for the first time, I was shocked! wala na gyud ko katul tol hain ang tanan….
Count down na sa pag larga ni Satchmo sa States!!!!!
Ley, how did you come up with the name Satchmo anyway?
@mam Luisa –
‘Satchmo’ is the nickname of Jazz legend Louis Armstrong. Fave jazz singer man sa akong boss nga si Yum. Siya ang nag-suggest. hehe.
‘Lucille’ is named after American TV icon Lucille Ball. One of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Important People Of The Century.
hey ley,
i’ve read your blog like almost everyday. i swear to god this place is a refuge to me when at times i would so badly miss sunny cebu. anyway, guess what, i live in metro d.c. area so if there’s still a way i could be part of satchmo’s us tour, i’d be more than delighted. if you think it’s a good idea and wanted to know me better, in case you’d think im just joking just email me and we could talk over the phone (i’d call u) and let’s see where we could begin from there.
arsikoi
@ Luisa
basi parente ta 🙂 del Mar man pud ko. although, our roots can be traced back to Zapatera
This is great – I hope I will get to see Satchmo – I will be in the San Francisco Bay Area at the same time he is scheduled to be with Goyo.
I will send him a special invite to the Family Party on June 28th.
Love the idea – now we will have to start working on your trip Ley!
Take care!
@Cielo
Taga di-in man ka Ms/madam? Asa man ka ron nag-base? Yeah, parente siguro ta, hehehehe….. basin akong mother kaila nimo or uban pang mga del Mar…. are you related to Raul del Mar? email me if you have the time so we can talk more, my mom and I are coming back to Cebu on Oct-Nov. maybe we can meet……
smrtgrl65@yahoo.com
Hi Ms/Mr Montecillo: where ur fmly from Cebu?
@Luisa. I am very sorry for your great loss.
About the Hermosa residence, it’s near the very first church in Mabolo. We used to cross the street from the side of the church.
@ianne
Thanks Ianne…… We probably have known each other! I was born in C Mina Street, naa pa mi cousin residing there si Dr. Belen Borces, iyang spouse was the baranggay captain Sony Borces. Taga Mabolo gyud mi….. remember Nang Titang she was featured in “Sinug” we know her very well, taga H. Joaquino St. Mabolo, in fact we invited her troupe to do a sinug during my dad’s burial in MIMG…….
Ley,
I sent you an email already regarding my share sa kang Satch’s na travel here sa MA.
(Massachusetts [NanaYanna] – June 13 to 22)
Did you get my email ba? Murag wala siguro kay wala pa man ko na confirm above. I sent my address to your yahoo e-add. Please check.
Til then,
Mich

@Ms Cielo

Ley,
sir Gammy and Van seems like conflict of schedule from
May 13-May 22
thanks mam Luisa. I’ve corrected it! 🙂
Hey Ley – I think we are missing a host between August 5 – September 21. Could this be an error? Just checking…or maybe Satchmo wants to take a break during those times. 🙂
satchmo.. mo…mo ..mo…moooo..
