Providence Zen Center/Cumberland, RI


Not a blues jam, but a half hour gig playing "Buddha's Birthday Weekend" celebration on April 7th. I received a Email from my buddy Bob Cohen who I met at the Chan's blues jam that he needed a drummer for a Saturday night blues gig. My problem was that I was traveling for ten days straight and would not have any time to practice. In fact, I didn't get back home until about 6 hours before the start of the gig. So, Bob posted the songs on his Web-site for us to learn, and we had about 5 minutes to go over the starts and stops of the tunes before we played. All in all we sounded great! The group was made up of myself on the cocktail set, Bob on harp and singing, Bob Vabulus on bass and Chris Stovall Brown on guitar. With the majority of my playing doing jams this was a real treat to play with some terrific local blues musicians.
