#1 Best blues bar I ever found was under the arch in St. Louis @0300. Six stools, two tables, one-eyed bartender, albino on the harmonica and singing, white guy on the horn.

#2 Skidmark, if you happen to be passing near Cincinnati on August 11-12, we're having our 25th annual blues fest. It's not as big as the entire state of Mississippi, but we enjoy ourselves. Mr. Wife and I will be working both days, after which I plan to collapse. Details here.

This year Mr. Wife started a new program at the Cincy Blues Society where people can donate money to provide tickets to veterans, distributed by the DAV and AFTA-Cincinnati. I'm really proud of him. Thus far we have enough donations to provide tickets to 300 veterans and their guests!

#3 I told Mr. Wife I posted the above, and he reminded me that we also are having the local chapter of Guitars for Vets open for the national headliners on the main stage Friday night. Guitars for Vets is a national program providing therapy for veterans with PTSD through music.
