Fat Daddy's/Dunedin, FL


This was my second time playing this Tuesday night blues jam in the Tampa area. Music starts about 9:30 at this small club that has some loyal players. The leader is a transplanted CT guitar player Jimmy Griswold, who can really tear things up on the bandstand. Drummer "Pug" is also a great player and is always willing to let other drummers sit-in. He has one of the best sounding 13" snare drums I've ever played.

Green Iquana-West/Tampa, FL

Working in Tampa this week I checked out a new blues jam for me on Monday night. This one according to the keyboard player/leader has been going for 17 years! Good jam with some hot players, though the first few songs tended to be more on the jazz side of town rather than blues. The house drummer Mike was new since it was only his second week playing. Well worth playing here again, however the music doesn't get underway until about 10:30.
