Made it to the BBS Blues Jam at the Reef Sunday afternoon. Damn fine, damn fine-I tellya'.
Poet Sam of the Bitterbrush Blues Band and Byron (call me Brian) started us out with a solid set of traditional blues. Memphis bound Smokin' Todd played stinging guitar and Todd sang a bit about some lost woman.
As usual the girls stole the show. Next Exiter Nancy Mc Intosh seemed more at ease than I have ever seen her on stage. Later on newcomer Dale growled her need for a man and was definitely a favorite.
This is what a jam is all about, musicians of all types and styles combining to make something special and unique. Thanks to Jon Knox for making this happen.
The Reef is a great spot for a jam, good food and atmosphere. Success of this session should mean it will be a weekly event soon. The jam is taking December off but will fire up again in January.
