i think you just set peter back another three years.

i'd be fine if all i had to play at my local blues jam were
the "standards".  but i always seem to land in a group
that decides to go wild on "hey joe", "voodoo child", 
"whippin' post", or the like.

keeps me guessing.  i figure i'm only up there for a
