The Rhumb Line~ http://www.therhumbline.com/index.htm
I am wicked excited about the Monday night jam. If you happen to stop by you may get to hear the Bandit Kings, Inge Berge and who knows who may appear. During these jams you get some magical moments from musicians that are there to let loose with no planned agenda.
Thank you to Dan King for hosting this jam and to Fred Shrigley for making it possible.

Dave says,
After a crushing season of shopping for that particularly insignificant other on your list, why not forget all your woes and amuse yourself to some groovy sounds this Thursday. I’m proud to present that Goodfellow of Punk, Mr. Willie Alexander . Y’all know Willie; he’s mainstay of the local scene and keeper of the flame of vintage roots music. Expect a lot of piano-pounding to the heartbeat of New Orleans and Memphis. Joining us will be his longtime guitarist, Mr. Billy Loosigian, one of the best rockers I’ve ever heard. L’il Steevee Chaggaris will be manning the defibrillators.You’re gonna sweat, so bring your own Diaperene©.
