Sundays!

In case you hadn't noticed.. we're not doing LIVE gigs on Sunday night now.. which is unfortunate but necessary to keep the bar functioning.

We're hear for the music.. but also don't want to go broke doing it.. and Sunday shows just do not get the tips even if they get the traffic.

It's really a shame because it's a good night for LIVE music in my humble opinion. However, having two of the best DJs in Second Life is not a hardship. Thank you DJ Lyfte and Durzle!

It's interesting that Van Morrison and Rolling Stones are in the 6 month figures.. I don't play them during Jump Blues. I had to take a artist out also that skewed the numbers.. a non-blues one I play to relax.

I'm Back !!

Hey there! Yes, this blog really lives!! Obviously I had a very small intention of posting something last winter but of course didn't. However, now I'm hoping with some friends help and encouragement we can make this a cool place to share information about our musical favorites. And of course comment and discuss the shows at our little slice of Blues heaven the "Horizontal BOOGIE Bar".

Lets have fun!!
