Worcester Magazine/Worcester, MA
I was sure surprised to see my blog comments about the Gilreins blues jam last Sunday reprinted this week in Worcester Magazine. But there it was on page 10, April 19th edition in their "Blog Log" compiled by Scott Zoback. I also received a Email response from Tom Doyle/Gilreins "Home of the Blues". It reads: " Hi, Sorry for the long wait I know we had a couple of bands scheduled and most weeks we won't have entire bands but we had a couple bands trying to get into the club and had to give them a chance. Please stop in again and sit in for a few more songs. Hope to see you again. T " Don't worry Tom. I will be back when I can, but my travel this next week takes me out to Las Vegas.
Acton Jazz Cafe/Acton, MA
Back for the Thursday night blues jam this week. Played the third set on the house kit for the first time. Usually Mike Avery brings his set, but he didn't have time to pick it up at home before the jam. This set is a mid-grade Pearl kit, nothing special. Thank goodness I had brought my own snare drum. The big news of the night was that house guitar player Tom Yates had just won the title of "King of the Blues" at Guitar Centers NE competition in Natick. I've had the pleasure of playing drums behind Tom many times at this jam. He's a fine blues player and singer. I wish I could have been at the contest.
