OK, when this came across the screen, I was quite piqued. But, 
unfortunately, I had to go to the grand re-opening of "the Brick" 
(re-stablished after a several year haitus and home to Dennis "Doc" 
Booth and the Mambo brothers). They will take Fri nite (for blues), and 
we are negotiating Sat or Sun (for jazz).

Pat Ramsey has been to the Buckingham Blues bar (one of my haunts/wed) 
at least twice in 04. I was unable to attend. He followed Cheryl Arena 
into this venue and was VERY well received. Now, onto the Beached 
Whale.
 Tampa is more than a two hour drive. Tampa is 85 miles from ME, and 
'I' am 55 miles from Ft. Myers. BUT, that's to FT. MYERS. Beached Whale 
is at Ft. Myers BEACH, ( cross town traffic from I-75)
 It is just down the block from 2 of my 'other' haunts (the Orpheus/sun 
& the Barking Shark/sat). Pat will be there on a monday (2/7/05).

 While monday is not a 'mayhem' day, arrive in town early as parking 
can be a nightmare. I'll probably park back by the dumpster at the 
Orpheus.
