Re: [Harp-L] Honoring the Blues

[Rick Davis <bluesharpamps@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Mojo-

The Zephyr Lounge is a fun gig, ain't it?  We've played there a few times
and we love the vibe.  But that stage is about the size of a card table...

I played with Frank Terry at the Boulder Outlook a couple months ago...
he is a blues treasure.

Keep on harpin'!
