Bob,
Great as always to see everyone at the DJML FTF Bloody Mary Party!
I won't comment on most of the bands - everyone else is doing such a great job with their input. It was a fun festival. The Bill Richard's Two Beat Bombers set, of course, had very special meaning to so many of us. And the absence of Bill Gunter was deeply felt.
Because I am biased, (oh really?) I have to say that Bob Schulz' Frisco Jazz Band played some wonderful sets - the set they did at the Hard Rock Cafe (terrible venue!) with Pat Yankee was an absolute hoot and the audience loved it.
I was really looking forward to hearing the headliner Kermit Ruffins because I have some of his early CDs and had never heard him live. What a major disappointment. Sounded like a bad rock band in my opinion.
