Last Night at the Joker's Jam

What can I say? It was another night of the living blues jam at Joker's last night.

It was great to see Troy again. Here he is working my Jazz Bass.

Thanks to all the players and stayers that made it such a great session!

Some Pictures from the Joker's Jam

This was our second week hosting the blues jam at Joker's and we had another great session. Thanks from the P.Tails to all the great players that came out, and also, thanks to the staff and management of Joker's Pub - you guys fucking rock! After midnight I strolled around and took a few pictures, here are a few of my favorites.

Left to Right: Jon Edwards is Albuquerque's most congenial drum host. Angel Gonzales strikes a chord. Two geezer bassmen, Terry and JC.

A Few More From Last Night at the Joker's Jam

Clockwise: Blistering Bob, Clint and Darin share fretboard secrets. Felix came out and played a great set with Pistol Pete on bass and Mark McKenna on drums. Check out Angel's kustom kase! JCB and Mark McKenna, I'm pretty sure that's Mark's middle finger at the right edge of the picture. And off to the left, raising his glass to the future of the blues is Joe Gagen.
