This was not an "Open Jam." Allow me to ellaborate.

If you really like the blues, and a big crowd of old guys that like to jam out mediocre oldy blues covers with absolutely no original material, an offbeat drummer, refuse to share the stage, and beg for tips from the time they start, then this is the place for you!

Personally, the gentlemen that were running this open jam were impolite and seemed quite arrogant about their guitar playing abilities. The arrogance didn't quite match their actual skill, however.

Furthermore and lastly, they didn't seem to share the stage unless you were in "the circle." It was the same 5 guys on stage the entire time with a tip jar out for collections. And although I asked to play 1 or 2 more songs after about two hours of this, and even offering to play the drums for a bit I was rudely brushed off with out a yes or a no to either. As far as Wednesday nights go, don't even waste your time here. I'm not sure about Friday's, but I won't be returning to this establishment to find out.
