Off to see Rick Estrin and the Nightcats tonight at Highway 99 Blues Club in Seattle. I'll be wearing a red shirt and gator boots if anyone wants to come say hi.

Can I please ask if we are meant to be able to see/comment on any of the shuffle king entries so far? Or if there haven't been any-I saw a link on facebook and clicked on it but there wasnt an entry there?
I've got a gig tonight, which is unusual in the current climate where I live as there's no real demand for blues bands.
