Due to a communication breakdown and because Piano Bob is not feeling well, tonight's gig at The Blues Burghers is canceled.
Anyway the Greenwich Village Folk Festival Blues Edition is on Sunday. It will be live streamed. Don't miss it. The show starts at 3:05pm and my 15 minute segment starts somewhere around 4:15pm give or take. There will be 10 great blues artists on this live stream including Chris Smither & Guy Davis, and each will get 15 minutes to shine.
Last night's show at the Dolphin Restaurant & Bar in Jensen Beach was very cool. The audience is always very receptive. The salad bar is pretty great too. Can't wait to go back.
