- I don't normally take the time to write a bad review of an open mic/blues jam… probably because I've never had such a negative experience at one. Last night I was the 1st one to sign up and was never given an opportunity to play… I am from out of state and drove 20 miles from my hotel to play… I waited patiently for my name to be called… didn't happen… so I asked after 2 hrs of waiting and was told that they don't really use the sign up list… and that I would have to ask one of the other musicians if I could play, which I did, and he said NO… As a host I think that he (Candy) should have invited me to play a couple songs with the host band… Not too much to ask… I play blues harmonica but don't sing… maybe that was the problem… I think that this host caters to all of the regulars and friends and if you're a stranger… TOO BAD… Would NEVER go to this "blues Jam" again… No ill will to all those who did play… They were all very good… I enjoyed listening but, I'm a musician… I was there to PLAY…
