Texas Johnny Boy

By David Rozycki “Sundays ain't just for church anymore!,” proclaims Memorial-area blues club, the Shakespeare Pub, as their tag line for this weekly blues jam hosted by Spare Time Murray. It's a nice way to end your weekend or to get it started depending on your point of view. There is never a cover charge, but please do throw a dollar bill or two into the tip bucket; better yet, if you are a musician be sure and bring your guitar, bass, harmonica, trumpet or anything else you can play the blues on and join in on the fun onstage. For audience members, it's always kind of amazing to see all of the different performers greet each other, chat for a few seconds, and then go into a song with everyone on the same page, like they have been playing together for years. Good times.
