Well, you know I used to run a BLUES jam. I must be an addict. Last night at Dexters we had one hell of a blues jam that went an hour longer than we expected. But, first things first.
Wolftrain was the first band I saw, and they were as good as always, in spite of their bass players problems with a new set of strings. Horns were wailing, and Iver's guitar tone was excellent. From there it was Papa Mojo, playing that relaxed country blues that they do so well. Great music to relax to. Spectacular players too.
So, yeah, then it was my turn. We could have played a trio set, but we had Mel from Lazy Poker there to play drums, so we ended up with Robin Johnston from Wolftrain on key's and both Sandy Mathers and Bill Moodie on harps. Two hours of blues, straight up. We even had requests for odd stuff like 'Death Letter' and 'Walking Blues'. All good fun with some great players and good friends. Oh, the curry shop under the bar is nothing short of amazing too.
Oh, it was also good to see so many familiar faces too- Hennie and Cat, Alfie, for example. If you missed it you sure missed a fun one!
