Steve Gannon (guitar) Musashi “Moose” Lethridge (guitar) Kelvin Dixon (drums) Willie Riser (bass) Chris Burns (piano) This is the best blues bar band I have ever personally seen.

Steve, you are a legend! To this day, I still think you had the best blues band I’ve ever seen. I loved coming every week to hear you play. I have to thank you big time for letting a beginner like me come up there and have a chance to play music. It was such a valuable experience for me.
Hey Aram! thanks for posting this, yeah I ran the jam for two months shy of 15 years! After all those memorable nights these are the only videos on youtube, if anybody has any others please post ‘em.
Hey! I found this by accident (looking for a different song). Way cool. Wish Willie was online!
Peace, Janet & Felix.
