No Louisiana Jukes?

If there’s live music in a club with beer, I’ll give it a couple rounds, and usually stay for more…I’m out of practice btw

I close it, in for the after hours thing, lock it down, and put a bucket on the bar to cover the “staff”.

Regarding Charley Patton, this JSP Box Set has it all, but I find the Yazoo releases easier on my ears. I’ll list a few below.

“Rootin’ Ground Hog”!

Gotta love blues song titles and their penchant for being about the horizontal bop (Credit: Bob Seger).
