Maggie and Chappy's

The Blue Island Beer Club played at Jolli Mons on Wednesday before Maggie Council took the stage. We played all originals until the last song, an Otis Redding number called Dreams to Remember - a great old soul song from the Stax catalog - wow Otis has been dead over 40 years. Most of the originals we sang are on our CD Lone Palm Tree.

Lone Palm Tree

Maggie performed solo with her beautiful Buscarino guitar. She also did originals from her CD Not In The House. She is an accomplished guitarist as well as a great singer and songwriter.

Last night I went to a a new venue in St Pete. to check it out. It is called Chappy's and there is a cool bar where the music takes place. The bar is in what looks like a tunnel between Central Avenue and Jannus Landing. A nice stage and friendly people should make their Thursday night jam a success. I played a few songs solo, mostly from the ICW Blues CD, The ICW Blues, and then jammed a little with some other musicians. It is a cool place and a lot of fun. Check it out on a Thursday evening.
