i've got tickets to see rod piazza and the mighty fliers friday night and tickets to see jerry portnoy on saturday! rod's at the regattabar, which i've never been to, but it's a classy reserved-seating jazz/blues club in the charles hotel in cambridge. jerry's playing at the house of blues, also in cambridge.
i've been a casual blues fan for a while, and just took up harmonica a few months back. i've been trying to teach myself from (among other resources) jerry's three-CD set.
this will be the first time i've gone to see any world-class blues harp live and i get to see two masters in two different settings in one weekend. can you tell i'm looking forward to this?
are there many other folks on this list from the boston area? as i said, i haven't been following the scene for long, but this seems like a pretty rare opportunity.
