Three hour drive up to the north side of Tampa to
event today... Not up for I-75 highway of pain yet, so
a bit of right instead of keeping to the left, and
I'm off on another adventure!

First, a little side trip down a country lane...
to see who is laying around out there under the windswept the pasture...
for the past 166 years...

If ever there was a graveyard tree, this is IT.

The header...

... and the eternal message below. Just who says Florida doesn't have
its own musical heritage? Ha!

And to close the visit on a happy little thought....

Stan Meeke put together this incredible lineup of musicians for the day,

and, as is his way, special attention was paid to present artists that

Florida does not see enough of, often enough!

Arrival!

What? No mermaids???

What a view backing up Sarasota Slim!

Sarasota Slim...keeping the blues in Sarasota, and Sarasota
in the blues!

When you come to a Rev Billy C Wirtz show expect to move your mind as fast
Billy moves those fingers!

Kilmo is in town on bass duty...

As pretty as they come!

Rory Block. 
A woman of the blues...

Rory Block. Lordy, doesn't this world need people like her!
Spirit, talent, understanding, compassion, HEART.

Rory doesn't play it. She LIVES it, and you can FEEL it!

Brent Johnson, Calling up those rockin' blues!

Franc Robert holding court in the lounge between mainstage sets...

Linda, doing what Linda does; so well, so well!

Bobby, Smiling Bobby...

Ms. Roseanne, off-duty, for about one minute!
Already working hard on their next big show -
Camping w/ the Blues! See you there!

Eddie Turner - a highlight in a bright day of music - The first time hearing him live. 

The ladies came to dance... and did they!

P.E. (Positive Energy) Bobby Messano!

I think along with delivering the music, Bobby's mission in life is to make
every single person in the room feel special and appreciated for coming out
for the show!
