This time iI was filling in for Tony with The Fleet St Blues Band at the Cats Eye. Baltimore’s premier live music venue!! Scott and Tim from the blues jam are in this along with Tansu on guitar and Elon on harp and vocals. They’ve got the last Tuesday of every month except this one because of Halloween. Hell I don’t know what’s up… I’m just filling in.  

Three pretty decent sets of fairly straight forward blues. That is not a complaint. I love it and it feels good to play and I REALLY dug playing with these folks. 

First off, all of them are solid as hell players and they love this band/show/club. You can tell it’s a total lovefest there. 

Also Tansu is a lefty!! AND WE STOOD RIGHT BESIDE EACH OTHER!!! I bet it looked cool as hell!!  I know it did from where I was standing.  

This wasn’t the first time I played with them any the Cats Eye. Tony had me sub for half the night sixish months ago to test true waters and I guess I passed the audition!

Tony will be back. And I’ll be there to watch them.

It was me and the ladies at the Sahara Lounge last night. We rocked them in deep east Austin. Ralph White and Kirkland James opened things up. Pretty cool hearing a resonator guitar plugged in to an amp with blues fiddle over the top. There were some extremely cool moments in their set.

The ladies and I loaded up and did our bit. Since it was a blues kind of night we didn't do too many "rock" numbers. We kept things swampy and lowdown. That stage was bouncing in no time. At some point in our set I was jumping around and some of my sweat hit Draya in the face. Disgusting or sexy? You decide.

Kingdom of Suicide Lovers were next. I stayed for most of their garagey set. I love a female bass player, but I love them even more when they are LEFT HANDED!!! We southpaws look out for each other (or we are thinking "I want that bass/guitar").

I love this place. It reminds me of several of the crap holes I played back in Tennessee. The only real difference is this is an actual legal bar. They buy liquor from a distributor they don't make it in the basement.

Jimmy Cliff!!!

Is a lefty!
