Just Plain Folks Showcase (JPF)

Today The Blue Island Beer Club made one of its irregular appearances at the JPF Showcase. JPF is an international organization of songwriters and musicians. It primarily exists on the World Wide Web in the form of a set of bulletin boards. But the people are real, and the members get together and perform their music in different gathering spots around the world.

Just Plain Folks


The Tampa Bay Chapter holds a monthly showcase at the Whistlestop in Safety Harbor. Each musician plays a few songs to entertain the audience and demonstrate his or her songs and skills. The local chapter coordinator is presently Jerry Jakala who organizes and publicizes the Showcase.

Today's Showcase included 9 performers - all solo except for Bruce and me. Everybody played a guitar and sang - one guitar was electric and the rest were acoustic. We played five songs......some from Wednesday's setlist including Bruce's new song I Didn't Know It Was Wrong.

Lots of fun!
