| Larry McCray To Host Blues Jam |
|
saxsymbol writes 
Rubes Booze and Blueshas long hosted an open mic blues jam on Mondays. This information often elicits no more than a perfunctory yawn from the music community. Recently, however, the host band for this little musical adventure has been none othe than Mr. Blues is my business (and business is good) Larry McCray.
Now, I've been part of way too many jams hosted by name artists that leave the little guy feeling like, well, a little guy. Larry's different. This jam has become a real gem, and what might almost qualify as a community service for young Flint musicians. In addition to drawing some first rate talent, Larry and band-mates Johnny B. Gaden on bass and Steve McCray on drums are genuinely friendly and helpful to those less musically fortunate than themselves! It's not at all uncommon to see Larry or Johnny giving an impromtu lesson to interested players.
As a sax player returning to the business after several years off, I know all too well how easy it is for young-or inexperienced-players to get the "fuzzy end of the lollipop" at jam sessions. That's why I'm unabashedly recommending this jam to all Blues Hounds. Whether you come to play, or just to catch a set or two by Larry's band, this is a great way to spend a Monday evening. Hell, this is a great way to spend just about any evening!
Rubes Booze & Blues is located at 1117 N. Chevrolet in Flint. You can 810- 767-9873 or get a Map To Rubes. |
