DOWNTOWN BLUES BAR & GRILLE - What goes down every Sunday, in a BIG BLUES way in Palatka Florida!


FINALLY made it by for ONE (they run an acoustic pass-the-guitar from 2pm-5pm, AND then SUNDAY LIVE & OPEN MIC" Brian Warden from 5-whenever every Sunday!) of the Sunday open mic/jams at Downtown Blues Bar & Grille in Palatka. Easy to find, easy parking and mighty comfortable inside!  We timed our entry just right - the start of a break of course, which allowed us to catch up with Billy & Gay Ennis (proprietors) and meet some new friends before the music got going again. These guys might have been there for a long day of playing, but they certainly didn't show it in the set we caught!


Before you 'cuse me of having too much fun... take a look around the room!


Hardly a cloud in the sky... and it is SUNDAY ...


Of couse you need a glass of wine and a cigarette to channel Janice properly....
