Speaking of....

a guy told me once, that you could always tell when you were listening
to a great blues band, because there was BBQ sauce oozing out of the
PA speakers....

Yep, and we've got some great blues and Q places around here!

You've got it made! *There's nothing *around my place to hear a good
blues band, that is unless I go 100 mi. to the St. Louis area then
there the blues joints seem to be a dime a dozen. I rememeber a couple
years ago I was in the St.L area and went down to the Broadway Oyster
Bar . It's a run down old place, or at least looks that way on the
outside. Inside it's blues bar in the front and cajun sea food in the
back. *You walk into the place and you know they mean business.
Perfect!

The night I was there, the band was "Erma Bakker and the St. Louis All-
Stars" *Erma was about 5'5", was about as round as she was tall,
verrrry black, and had a gold cross on one of her front teeth. *Man
could she belt the blues! She had one of those magicly raunchy voices
that was perfect for that type of venue. Plus the lead guitarist could
handle a Strat like very much like Rory Galleger, and play slide like
Johnny Winter. I couldn't hang around long, but for about an hr. and a
half *I was in 7th heaven.

In ways I wish that kind of thing was local shearly for the easy
access, but then again, it would probably get old if it was available
all the time *next time I'm down there, I'll hit the place up again.

Looks like a great place. We've got some real down home stuff here, as
well as some more off the shelf sort of places.
One of my favorites:
