Slippery Noddle/Indianapolis, IN
I finally got to play the blues jam at the Slippery Noddle Inn in Indianapolis last night. I've always wanted to play here since first seeing their full page ad that they run in every issue of "Big City Rhythm & Blues"magazine. Great room and great crowd that kept growing as the night went on. The house band was hot and they get extra credit for starting right on time at 9pm. I had arrived early to have supper and was the first to sign the jam list. The house drum kit was a 4 piece Premeir kit that was mid grade and sounded fine. The bass drum was miked, but nothing else on the kit. It really boomed both on stage and out front. I'd rather have the whole kit miked or not at all. The drum sounds were so uneven. Anyone that came in with a "group" got to get up to play early. Anyone signing up "alone"such as myself didn't get invited to play until later. I walked on stage aound 11:30. All in all, not a bad jam.
