Show Notes:
To keep it short and sweet: Adam, the owner of the Blue Loon, called up a bunch of his friends from the lower 48 to come back and jam over the weekend for The Blue Loon's 20th Anniversary. They are mentioned above. Friday night was a 'beer and wine' tasting with a $20 ticket; the 1st set was more 'jazz' based, whereas the 2nd set was more 'rock' based.
Saturday night was a no-cover 2-rock set affair with free food beforehand.
I was thoroughly impressed, as Dawn has a stellar voice, and there isn't anyone in the band who cannot play proficiently, as the wide-ranging and long (3 hours, both nights) will attest to (SRV, James Brown, Etta, Springsteen, Aretha, CCR, Bonnie Raitt, a threatened ZZ Top two-fer that never materialized, thought I heard some Joni, and even more obscure artists).
For not having played together in years, simply put, you can't fake chemistry.
If you would like to see for yourself:

We're rapidly approaching 1000 TTD uploads for Dennis, so be sure to get your thanks in now!
If you do, maybe something special will drop for #1000 (and a few prior).
On this end, I'm gonna go back to looking for some you-know-whats to give...or something like that.
More, later.........
