Jammin' at the Katiki

I went to the Katiki blues jam last night and enjoyed it as usual. Tommy McCoy is back in town and he played a great set with Pat Brogan and the rhythm section from the house band. There was a great crowd and I always credit the Roadhouse Rockers for maintaining a high standard at the jam which results in happy customers.

I got up a little later with the Roadhouse Rockers (Kent, Jeff and Pug) plus Bennie on harmonica and Dick on trumpet. Playing with the RRs is a pleasure because they are so good at picking up on a song immediately and making it sound good. The crowd seemed to like us and we kept the dance floor full. Happy customers keep the jam going. Some other jams I have attended have almost no customers except for the musicians themselves........they don't last long.

Happy New Year,

Colin
