Went to see Bluestime with Magic Dick and Jay Geils on Saturday at The Turning Point in Piermont, NY. A show full of blues classics and straight blues numbers, except for the encore - Whammer Jammer.
A very enjoyable evening, pretty much what I expected. Two nice surprises were Geils playing some very solid, if not flashy, guitar, and Dick's sense of humor and story- telling on stage. A perfect good time blues club type of show.

PS I'm working on SB's Help Me - Is there a tab floating around? Especially for the great parts he plays over the IV chord? Bluestime played at least one SB number and Dick told a joke that only those familiar with Too Close Together would get - I always joke with my wife and kids about this song, so, even though she's not a real blues fan, she got the joke and probably enjoyed it more that a lot of other people. Incidentally, the place was packed.
